I can't speak for the KDE part, but for the GNOME part this should be fixed by https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655002 . There is no stable release including the fix yet, though. > 1.

The Details link in the last sentence explains how to use gdb for this. Make sure to have sufficient debug packages installed (but gdb will tell you about this anyway). > I'd like to try out evolution 3.1.x, which seems to be stuck somewhere > in the pipeline, so I downloaded the latest evolution-3.1.4-1.fc16, > from koji.

JHBuild might be an option: http://live.gnome.org/Jhbuild . Note that https://live.gnome.org/JhbuildDependencies/Fedora is slightly outdated and does not list Fedora 15 (yet) so you'll run into some issues when using jhbuild that will require installing additional packages. > Questions: > * Do you expect to have an evolution-3.1.x available on updates > (or wherever) in the near future 3.1.x is unstable, so I do hope that no serious distro ships it in their updates for a stable distro. To provide a Fedora-specific answer: Either use Fedora 16 or use Rawhide. Both are unstable and might eat your computer. > * if not, is there any simple way to get the versions on koji to > install or build on my system? That's really a question for a Fedora mailing list, as upstream GNOME has nothing to do with distributions' infrastructure and packaging. andre -- mailto:[email protected] | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper | http://www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
