[Evolution-hackers] problem in "Categories" button in e-contact-editor

[Stan Pinte <stanpinte fastmail fm>]

hello,

I tried to solve the following bug in evolution-1.4.6: queries by
category in LDAP-backed addressbooks do not work.

the following patch solves the problem:

, but creates another problem:

the "Categories" button in the contact edition folder is now
disabled. Yet, the categories are still listed in the text field.

I tried to solve it using that patch:

 };

but, it makes things worse: the button is still disabled, and the
categories do not show up anymore in the text field.

I am determined to solve this problem, but I am asking around for any
hints...

thanks a lot,

Stan.
