I have a workaround for this problem, should anyone else need it
(contributed by a kind soul who had the same problem on RHEL 4).
if you have evolution28 installed, just add:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/evolution28/lib
to the startup process for firefox3 and all is well.
evolution28 is available from the centos4 base repo, for those who
do not have it. (I'm told that it is in the RH beta channel if you need
it for RHEL 4.)
There are a whole bunch of evolution28 packaages. I just installed 'em
all, not knowing which one(s) are important.
