    If ~/.jpilot/jpilot_to_install contains any lines then it will open the 
    install dialog box as a reminder that files will be installed.  If the 
    install dialog opens on every sync then something must be failing to 
    install.  For some reason the jpilot_to_install file is not being 
    cleared.  Just remove the "install file items" in the dialog.
    
    I agree that this dialog can be confusing.  It was added at the request 
    of users who would add something to be installed, not sync for a while, 
    forget it was there, and then overwrite data when they finally did sync. 
      I'd rather err on the safe side of data loss.
