I've noticed that the PilotManager windows don't refresh themselves during a sync until an update to the status window happens.  This happens 
when a new conduit starts or, in the case of the backup conduit, when it updates 
the status window with the next database being saved.  If I want to see what's 
being synced and the PilotManager window is screwed up, I just look at the Pilot 
screen.  It lists the database being synced.

This is typical behavior for a non-threaded UI application that I've ever seen.
