Tedious, to say the least. Then I > can go back to F15 and start evolution with a clean sheet. I seem to have managed to solve the problem (knock wood) under F15 - at least for now: I backed-up all my important evolution files and user configurations (~/.local/share/evolution, .bash*, .ssh, *.*gdb*, etc) and cleared all the ~/.XXX files and directories - including the ~/.config/ and ~/.local. Once I was done, I everything from scratch, including evolution (this time under KDE 4.6). As far as I can see, evolution is now working. (This was sent from evolution under F15/KDE). Hopefully I won't have to follow your footsteps and import/export my 700 +MB evolution DB back to Fedora 14. - Gilboa -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
