Hi Petter,

Ross probably gave you the answer you actually wanted, but just for
completeness: "org.Moblin.SyncEvolution" D-Bus interface gives you
actual sync events. Some points to remember:

* you will get item-by-item updates on sync progress, but currently you
cannot connect these to the actual data (so you can't tell which contact
or event is being synced)
* the progress signal status codes are currently unfiltered from
Synthesis library
* The api _will_ change as we figure out all the things it needs to have

Wrapping up: If you're more interested in the actual PIM data, use
e-d-s. If you're interested in when Syncs happen and how they progress,
use SyncEvolution (but please get in touch on SyncEvolution mailing list
before you do).
