Um, yes, I manage most nights.  I'm not sure how I do it though - it 
rarely works first time although I think it did once.

I employ a heuristic methodology. Sometimes if I restart the dæmon from 
the desktop it works next time I try (but sometimes it doesn't).  
Sometimes if I select Conduit Setup from the TX and don't do anything 
but save straight away, it works the next time I try (but not always).

It doesn't bother me that much, as I don't like Evolution and use 
Thunderbird with the Calendar extension (with which, of course, you 
can't synchronise.  But then so long as the calendar is up-to-date on 
the TX, which is where I mostly use it, I don't have a problem.

All the same, if anybody can tell me how to make it work first time, 
every time, I'd be very grateful!

Rosie
