Maybe you should read the thread on evolution-hackers,and then contact some kernel hackers, Alan, Dave and Al come to mind. My patch resets new 2.5 behavior for/in Orbit to 2.4 behavior. But the real problem is within Gnome, so far I only hear from the Gnome/Orbit maintainers it's the Kernel without any proof. Just saying so is not enough, I know it's kind of hard to find a problem in a few hundred thousand kernel and Gnome/evolution source lines. Been there done that. And if you take a look at the Gnome 2.X source you might find that it's mood to talk about this any further, if you understand the problem. Ronald
