 NOTE: Almost the same procedure will make it possible to
 sync KA/Pi+KO/Pi running on Windows with KDE via network.
 
 The setup+sync procedure is:

 1) Installing KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the Z
 2) Installing desktop version of KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the desktop
 3) Connection your Z to the desktop via network
    (network connection can be set up via USB cable or (W)Lan
 4) Configuring KA/Pi+KO/Pi on Z for Sync
 5) Enable remote sync in KA/Pi+KO/Pi on the desktop
 6) Sync

+0) How the syncing works
+*****************************************************
+
+After setting up everything, the following actions will
+be performed when syncing:
+User enables "remote pi-sync" on desktop.
+User chooses "sync with configured desktop profile" on the Z.
+Z sends sync request via network to configured IP/port/password.
+KO/Pi on desktop detects sync request and syncs with KDE (configurable!).
+A window pops up, that KO/Pi on desktop is in "remote syncing mode".
+If a conflict occurs when syncing KO/PI<->KDE on the desktop, 
+automatically the newest entry is choosen.
+(To avoid the need of user interaction)
+KO/Pi on desktop sends synced file to Zaurus.
+KO/Pi on desktop is in "waiting mode" to get synced file back.
+Zaurus is syncing it's own calendar with the received file.
+Here can be some user interaction needed, i.e.
+if the sync profile is configured as
+"ask for every entry on conflict" and a conflict occurs. 
+Zaurus sends back synced file to desktop.
+Syncing on Zaurus is complete now.
+KO/Pi on desktop gets back synced file.
+KO/Pi on desktop removes all entries in its own calendar and
+reloads the synced file.
+KO/Pi on desktop syncs with KDE.
+After syncing  with KDE is finished, KO/Pi closes
+the "remote syncing mode" window and displays 
+a "syncing complete" message in the headline.
+
+The actual syncing KO/Pi on desktop <-> KDE is 
+performed by a small command line tool "kdecaldump", 
+which writes/reads the complete KDE calendar resources to 
+a file/from a file.
+KO/Pi tags changed entries such that an unchanged entry
+is not changed in KDE by kdecaldump. That is important for 
+calendar entries in KDE, stored in a "disconnected IMAP" calendar resource.
+
+
+Same way is KA/Pi working.

 That behaviour is caused by a bug in KDE.
