Ok is that why current cvs is currently acting strange?  When I load up bitpim,
i now get an error about groupdict not being defined.  This was in
populatefromfs.  I don't have anything in the fs yet :) Also to mention it, my
phone doesn't support grouping.   Yes it's a bad phonebook, not to mention the
calendar, which is very basic.  So i commented out all the groupdict lines. 
Now it loads but I get no tabs?

yah.

probably.

ok, will try to investigate, but my current cvs dir (fresh dir, though i backed
up my older cvs dir before updating ) doesn't show any tab views like before,
so i'll continue to use my old dir.
