I'm having the same problem. I checked bonobo-activation-config.xml and it had no existing <item> entry, so I placed one in the <searchpath> section. Tried re-running evolution but still nothing. Something that I noticed is that I have both an /opt/etc/gconf as well as /etc/gconf. Could this be a problem? Maybe evolution is getting confused over which settings to use? (I'm just grasping at straws here... :) ) Any suggestions are welcome. (And after 6 hours of battling with getting it compiled, I was so looking forward to seeing it work... oh well... soon enough I hope... :) -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
