I realized that after building evolution I had started it for the first time from a window that had been "sudo -s"
It worked nicely, but I wanted to run it as me, not root.
Of course this did not work since various directories (.gnome, .fnome_private, evolution) were owned by root.
So I changed the ownerships, but evolution would not connect to the servers any more. OK. So I deleted all the directories in my home that had been created by evolution that I could find. And tried again.
At this point I discovered that evolution does not keep some of its information in the users home. I'd expected that I have to re-enter the details of the mail servers. However, the program still remembered the server names after I had thought I'd deleted everything. So I had not in fact eliminated all traces of the first use of evolution.
OK. So decided to remove evolution, fix the library issues with libpng and rebuild/reinstall. Did that.
Now when evolution starts something crashes on startup, running as me and running as root. Instead of missing a few of the icons, I now have no icons at all.
My question is, at this point, HOW DO I GET RID OF IT???
I'd like to have evolution available. It is significantly faster than kmail, which is awful, looks reasonable and could be a real asset. But not until I've ripped it out and can start again from a totally clean slate...

I had the png problem (on 1.2.1-1) before I updated imlib, libpng, and libpng3: it worked, but the icons were gone.
I didn't have the pixbuf problem, though.
Check and see if you have the latest versions of gdk-pixbuf, imlib, libpng and
libpng3; if so, then try rebuilding them one at a time rather than in a
batch.

I just built evolution with fink. I didn't notice anything as it built
but when i started it i get messages like...
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.0.12 libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.5
.. and ..
evolution-shell-CRITICAL **: file e-splash.c: line 355 (e_splash_new): assertion `splash_image_pixbuf != NULL' failed.

I've not tested it enough to know whether it is busted or just noisy.. But there seem to be things to fix in any case...
