just the evolution (the email bit) .deb is 10Mb.
I guess all the other gnome libs add up as well but
it's not too enormous.

if you mean the whole ximian thing rather than just evolution, no.  
My machine at work is RH 6.2 (cos I haven't got round to
changing it!) with gnome and enlightenment.  The sysadmin guy
at work just installed the following rpms on it:

ORBit-0.5.12-ximian.1.i386.rpm
oaf-0.6.7-ximian.2.i386.rpm
libxml-1.8.15-ximian.2.i386.rpm
gdk-pixbuf-0.11.0-ximian.1.i386.rpm
libgnomeprint15-0.31-ximian.1.i386.rpm
gnome-libs-1.2.13-ximian.11.i386.rpm
bonobo-1.0.14-ximian.1.i386.rpm
gal-0.18.1-ximian.1.i386.rpm
libgal18-0.18.1-ximian.1.i386.rpm
libgtkhtml20-1.0.0-ximian.1.i386.rpm
gtkhtml-1.0.0-ximian.1.i386.rpm
libbonobo-conf0-0.14-ximian.1.i386.rpm
GConf-1.0.4-ximian.1.i386.rpm
bonobo-conf-0.14-ximian.1.i386.rpm
libnss3-0.9.5-ximian.1.i386.rpm
gnome-vfs-1.0.1-ximian.5.i386.rpm
pilot-link-0.9.5-ximian.2.i386.rpm
gnome-pilot-0.1.63-ximian.2.i386.rpm
evolution-1.0-ximian.3.i386.rpm

and I restarted Xwindows and it all worked.
(he worked out the dependencies! I couldn't be stuffed, one
day I'll install debian on it)

It's been over a week now and has been perfectly stable.
The "contacts" part of evolution has died once but email
kept working.  No lost email like netscape/mozilla and no
pregnant pauses either switching mailboxes and so on.
It has for now at least tempted me away from mutt (at
work anyway).

Dave.
