Does the same thing here. oaf-slay is a Perl script, and I've found reports that suggest that it just doesn't work well with the Perl that shipped with Red Hat Linux 9 (i.e. reverting to an older Perl fixes the problem, though I'm not sure I'd recommend that). It seems to work if I run oaf-slay as root (caveat: don't do this on a terminal server). > some times when i cancel the Gnome crash it gives me > this in the shell of evoultion > > evolution-shell-WARNING **: Error setting owner on > component OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Mail_ShellComponent > -- CORBA error > ?? > and at the same time the mail settings dialog appears > .though i have all my acoounts .. > > somew times this takes place > [EMAIL PROTECTED] msalem]$ evolution > > evolution-shell-WARNING **: Error setting owner on > component > OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Calendar_ShellComponent -- Old > owner has died > ..

There is no magical "make it work" command. Solutions depend on the nature of the problem, and we don't know enough about the nature of your problem to provide a detailed solution. Contacts are stored in ~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db If you have a backup of that file someplace, from back before things broke, you can try shutting down evolution, killing all remaining evolution components with the "killev" command, and copying the working copy over the current broken one. As for the other work, you'll need to provide more details. -Mark Gordon _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
