Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
This has happened on a lot of my new Ubuntu Gutsy (and as far back as
Dapper) installs.
Steps to reproduce on a clean Gutsy install:
1) Create a new user and log in, noting the Evolution top panel launcher icon
that appears when you log in
2) Run the following command (as root or w/sudo):

3) Log out and log back in as your test user
4) Notice the defunct "springboard" panel launcher icon (was the old Evolution
icon)
This is kind of a pain in the arse for large multi-user systems (such as
my LTSP installations) when all you'd like to do is remove Evolution. I
know some applications, when you log in after they're uninstalled, will
tell you that it cannot be found and it gives you a choice to see if
you'd like to delete the launcher. This would be satisfactory as it
would at least bug the user until they hit 'Delete'...although for
Evolution, this doesn't happen, and leaves cruft behind instead.
This is also more of an issue than 'simply delete the launcher', because
I lock down my Gnome panels for security reasons (I run my LTSP
installations in elementary/primary schools).
Any insight, or bugfixes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
