Hello Pawel.
Yes, you are right. I'll fix this.

No, mainly because I'm a KDE person :)
But my final goal will be to offer full synchronization, including todo's, 
memo's, appointments, etc.

I understand what you want, but I can't see how this will be done (the 
detection of the phone) without writing a new deamon, specifically 
scanning serial and IR ports, as well as bluetooth channels. This can be 
a bit tricky, and at the moment is not in my priorities (stability, core 
functionality, compatibility, in that order)

You are right. KnokiiSync should prompt the user with a question on what 
to do in that case. Also see the name format setting in the configuration 
dialog. The same applies for the postal address.

Nice - thanks for the info. That should put an end to the distribution of 
two different tarballs, and the mess that brings. :-)
