When I open "control >center/Advanced/Pilot Link", change the configuration of MyPilot from "Use conduit >settings" to "Syncronize", click OK but don't close the "Settings" window, sync works >fine. As soon as I close the window the synchronization is blocked.

Is there also a solution without the panel (command line or so), because I'm using icewm (without gnome and gnome panel)?
