I have had no end of trouble with evolution. I leave myself logged in all the time and my wife pops open a terminal and "su"s as herself then runs evolution to read her e-mail. All the time she either has to "oaf-slay" or "rm -rf /tmp/orbit-<userid>" in order to get the blasted thing to work. I have the latest versions of all relevent libraries. This problem has been going on for some time (search the archives of this list). Also, evolution does not seem to clean itself up very well. It seems to always fork new oaf processes and various other things, until one day I had no more open file descriptors left on my system, and had to kill -9 a zillion oafd and wombat processes. So, from my vantage point anyways, evolution is a ways away from becoming "fully working". Maybe someday I'll teaach my wife how to use mutt :) -- Ryan T.
