Short answer: almost. Just quit evolution, killed the data server, and did the copy (nothing to lose, right?), and it seems to have worked, except for lists, whose entries are of the form <xml ...>. Oh well, didn't need those lists anyway. Evolution crashes when I delete them (!), but seems to recover successfully, and they're all gone now so I can't backtrace... Though it seems to be working again for now, I remain sorely disappointed with the stability/quality of evolution 2.0. Nonetheless, thanks to everyone on this list for excellent packaging. If the earlier patch for the 1.4->2.0 converter had not gone in before it hit testing, I would probably be quite a bit more bitter!
