It was actually a missing resetSyncFlags() call, but as I wrote in other 
mails, I fixed this together with the two other bugs a few days ago in 
the HEAD branch. The PilotSerialDatabase::CleanUpDatabase() purges all 
deleted and archived entries from the palm. While this is good wrt. the 
palm db size, it prevents archived records in the db from being synced 
on two different pcs, which some people might want to do (e.g. at work 
and at home, like I want to do it). So I'm not really sure if we should 
use CleanUpDatabase at all. I noticed thefrog added it to the 
addressbook conduit with his last patch about two weeks ago, before, 
neither the caledar nor the addressbook conduits used it.

Terrible numbering. Usually the a,b,c versions come after the version 
with that number has been released.

Good idea, we can't let the people wait forever for a really working 
kpilot. Which probably should compile on kde 2.2.2 or 3.0, too, 
shouldn't it? Is this even possible any more? I mean, are the kabc 
libraries in these two versions api-compatible, or at least provide 
enough functionality?
If it needs to compile with 2.2.2, too, I'm afraid the vcalconduit needs 
some more brainless search-and-replace  work to provide the necessary 
type mappings...
