OK, my file looks now as follows:

+ .kde/share/apps/kabc/
+ .kde/share/apps/kbear/
+ .kde/share/apps/kopete/
+ .kde/share/apps/korganizer/
+ .kde/share/apps/quanta/
+ .gaim/
+ .gaimrc
+ .OpenOffice/user/config/
+ .OpenOffice/user/wordbook/
- *
- .*

My console output is:
building file list ...
3 files to consider
.gaimrc
wrote 356 bytes  read 24 bytes  760.00 bytes/sec
total size is 1949  speedup is 5.13

Why was only this one file transferred? I want the other directories to be 
synchronized, too. I do know that e.g. the OpenOffice wordbook isn't 
synchronized yet!
The tree on both machines is equal (base directory is /home/gregor/).

Thanks a lot for any help!
