Open a terminal window and find the process ids for your defunct evolution process. You use the command ps to do this. Probaby you want to type ps -u $yourusername which will list all the processes for your login. Then simply issue the kill command for each evolution process id. If a gentle kill $pid does not work, then do a kill -9 $pid. See the man pages of ps and kill for details. (type man ps or man kill from the command shell) -- Matthew Galgoci "If you were a woman I'd kiss you right now."
