Not for sure. The OP could use this path for a user too. I agree that some "solutions" are not good ways to maintain an install, but it's not important for some users. Regards, Ralf PS: On my Linux machine I did something odd too, but perhaps I would think that you do something odd regarding to audio on your machine ;), assumed you're not using Linux for pro-audio, as I do. So the OP simply might have different needs. I didn't plan to use Evolution by several *nix installs, so on the quick I used a workaround and since it's working without issues, I don't waste time for a "better" solution, "just" providing the same.

However, sometimes it's not important for a user, to fix a provisional arrangement. The OP perhaps has got a reason to use the /root path, but might run Evolution as a user. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
