yep, the argument against it was simple: a sync button in korg/kab makes no 
sense if you don't use any remote source (groupware or webservice), it's 
actually quite confusing then since it has no effect. Assuming that most of 
KDE's users don't have such remote sources, the decision was made to not show 
it by default.

Obviously, the ideal solution would be to auto-detect that and only show the 
sync button if there actually is something to sync. But that requires quite a 
bit more work than just hiding the button by default.

Not that I know of, but I fully agree on keeping the diff as small as 
possible.
