Continuation of my posting #3:
------------------------------------------
The failure to Sync that I described in my posting #3 happenned under Xubuntu 12.04 with a Mate desktop. I tried a Sync on a computer installed with plain Ubuntu 12.04 and a Gnome 2 desktop (a.k.a. Gnome-classic -- packages gnome-core), and it worked fine !!!
This narrows the problem down to the desktop environment. I hope that Xubuntu, Mate and J-Pilot developers will work side-by-side to fix it !!
