This is ridiculous...

I have (and have had) Ximian GNOME *and* KDE 2.2.2 on my system with =
absolutely no probs whatsoever.

I will build a new machine (I've got lots of removeable drives laying =
around so this is not a problem for me) sometime this week and attempt =
an install of Evolution without installing Ximian GNOME.

Evolution is an awesome app and well worth the trouble of getting it =
working.
