This is why the process is so mind bogglingly obnoxious the times in the past when I've had an Evolution bug. Can you build just Evolution from source on the distribution you're using? In the past I couldn't. The only option was to build ALL OF GNOME. And the balancing act needed to get it to run as a side-by-side installation with the distribution version was INSANE. DBUS messages go to the wrong places and daemons crash each other and fonts and themes fight to the death. I pretty much had to log in an ultra-basic TWM X session and manually start things from an xterm. And never, never run it from your real home directory. Trying to reverse a half successful upgrade is a pain. Which means that you need to know what files to copy into a new user directory to reproduce a problem. A tool like JHBuild is pretty much a requirement. https://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/stable/index-info.html.en _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
