So, here's an update. I created a .desktop file for syncing my addressbook, so now I have no need to manually sync through the terminal (but I do still have to initiate the sync by launching an app). I created an 80x80 PNG of the Tango addressbook icon, and copied that onto my device at ~/se/addressbook.png. I then created the following .desktop file:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=Sync freja
Terminal=true
Icon=/home/user/se/addressbook.png
Exec=/usr/bin/syncevolution freja

Again, freja was the name of the $CONFIG I created. I'm leaving the terminal option to true so I can watch the progress and check for errors, but I may just switch this to false. I saved the file in ~/.local/share/applications/ so I didn't have to worry about root access. Hopefully this helps someone out.
