Bug#230480: kpilot fails silently if calendar not initialized properly

[Carl Fink <carl@fink.to>]

Package: kpilot
Version: 4:3.1.4-1
Severity: normal

If the user hasn't properly specified a korganizer calendar file, or has not
yet run korganizer and saved a calendar, the calendar and todo conduits fail
SILENTLY.

Nothing in a user application should ever fail silently.  An error message
should appear with a clear explanation of what's happening, e.g., "Before
you can synchronize your calendar and to do list, you need to run Settings,
Configure Conduits, configure the Calendar and To Do conduits, and specify
which calendar to sync to.  You may also have to run korganizer and save a
calendar before doing this." 

While I'm posting, the malsync front end ignores instructions to sync only
once an hour and still tries to sync each time I press the HotSync button.

Thanks for maintaining this very cool, useful package.
