Anyway to spread out the icons a bit? > Okay, it seems all 3 above are related. My work PC is still running F11 (until Friday), and I had a look at its Evolution settings today. Using 'gconf-editor' these 2 were set: /desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_icons_size "large-toolbar" /desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style "both" Now, just by stopping/starting Evolution I could change these settings, and see the effect. If I changed the toolbar style to 'icons' and used a 'small-toolbar', then I get pretty much exactly what I have under F13. (In fact the only difference seems to be the icon for 'delete message'.) If I changed it back to a style of 'both' - that is, icons and text, and a large toolbar, then the icons are more spread out, presumably because they have to cater for the text underneath as well now. It all appears as I want it. So, at home with F13, I set both of these using gconf-editor - to use a large toolbar with both icons and text. I restarted Evolution, and nothing changed. I logged out and in; no change. I rebooted the machine; no change. Gconf-editor (and gconftool-2) shows that these values have been set. I can also seem them in my ~/.gconf/... xml file. But for some reason Evolution (and others?) is ignoring them. I'll play a bit more with this, but this seems like a bug to me.
