I also could not get kpilot to work and finally gave up with openSUSE
11.1. Have you tried jpilot to sync with your palm This works great
for me in 11.1 but I have not tried it in 11.2 yet.

I've never gotten jpilot to work in any version of KDE. But then kpilot use
to work seamlessly with korganize, kaddress, etc. I haven't tried to get
jpilot to work with those.

I haven't been following the thread, so sorry if I'm mixing thing, but
in 11.2 and the default KDE (the one that got upgraded via normal updates)
I have continuously a terminal window (konsole) open in a size that I
like.

I have 'screen' running there, sessions inside are like this slrn where
I'm typing now.

This konsole window opens exctly the same way every time.

I don't close this when I log out.
When I log in, it opens, same size and position every time.

Running slrn+about ten other things like logs and so on in a screen
session is where I use it.

My directories open in windows or tabs when I want them to.
