I had that problem too. I really encourage you to use the redhat rpms from http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/evolution/RPMS/ but if you really want red-carpet, I found the way around this was to: run it from a terminal (in foreground, ie. no '&') enter password when prompted from password box you will probably now see another password prompt on the terminal, but this can be ignored. Hit enter a few times, or try ctrl-z and 'bg'. I have no idea why it behaves like this, but I had to do some wierd things to get it to start... -- Iain Buchanan <iain@nospam.pcorp.com.au> Earth -- mother of the most beautiful women in the universe. -- Apollo, "Who Mourns for Adonais?" stardate 3468.1
