Due to some bug with kdepim and the way it corrupts its configuration on power

rebuild my Kmail configuration, accounts, transports, filters, folder tree

Hi all,
Please look at this bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/225361 .

I'd agree the word "cruft" is unsuitable given the fact that it's a geek phrase.

Doesn't apt-get suggest to "auto-remove" packages from time to time?
Obviously, the packaging mechanism keeps track of which packages were
installed
Hi,
Now that almost everyone has got a mobile and most of them connect it to
their PCs, wouldn't it be a good idea to include a decent mobile management
tool like Wammu (there may me better ones but this is what I use)? Even if
it is not going to be included in the Live CD due to lack of CD space

What does the mobile manager do? what does is manage?
There has been a lot of discussion and debate about Hardware Management
vs Device Capability. Should the manager provide functional access then
it might work via hal capabilities, if it's configuration or some other
kind of hardware management
One very common use of a mobile management app is backup of contacts. Apart
from that if need be (not exactly too common), back up text messages.
But beyond that Wammu provides capabilities to manage mobile's calendar, To
Do, etc, etc which can come handy at times.
As I stated it need not be on

I definitely agree with Martin,
I just switched phone. Before I used wammu, and I've found it really good,
especially when my phone started to really break down, and it was hard to
write even a simple SMS, as in Wammu you can write it, BUT
Wammu exports and imports only his own formats, and even
