Thanks Matthew. I figured it out only seconds before seeing your post :-) It turns out that "yum install evolution" doesn't pull in dconf. As this is a KDE Live spin, it isn't there by default either, thus it has to be installed manually. "yum install dconf" seems to have fixed the issue. I'll report this to Bugzilla once I figure out which BZ to send it to. It's really a packaging bug so perhaps the Fedora one is best. It's surprising that Evo doesn't complain since it clearly can't store anything in dconf (no error indication and nothing in /var/log/messages). Perhaps that's another bug. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
