Well, at first thanks for your tipp. Unfortunately importing my evolution settings didn't work via $ cp -ax gconf_old/apps/evolution .gconf/apps and $ rm -r .gconf/apps/panel did not solve my problem. I guess that, for evolution, there are some additional dirs and or files wich should be copied too, but i wasn't able to find them for now. _______________________________________________ gconf-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gconf-list
