Agreed.

In addition, running with

SYNCEVOLUTION_DEBUG=1 syncevolution --daemon=no loglevel=10 ....

is also recommended. This keeps all operations inside a single process
(nice for running under gdb), without suppressing any debug output that
might come from inside the libraries that are getting called.
