PilotManager pausing when not mapped?

[zamboni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Diego Zamboni)]

Hi,

I don't know if someone has experimented this before: PilotManager seems to 
stop doing whatever it's doing (during a sync) when it is unmapped. This seems 
to cause the "identifying user" phase (while PilotManager is updating the list 
of databases) to stop indefinitely unless PilotManager is onscreen. And 
sometimes, when Backup is running, it will timeout and the sync on the Pilot 
will abort, but the sync on PilotManager will continue after PilotManager is 
mapped again. Weird.

More specifically, I am experiencing this when using PilotManager with KDE. If 
I start a sync and then switch to a different desktop, I get the above 
behavior. I have the impression that kwm (KDE's window manager) unmaps 
applications that are on different desktops (instead of positioning them in 
offscreen coordinates as other window managers do).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
--Diego
