Your exercise led me to spend about three hours reworking my libraries.
I have a mix of woody debs and hand-rolled source tarballs. (The bonobo
situation vis-a-vis evolution requires this, for one.) 

In any case I now have the composer window working, apparently in good
order. Running html-editor-control clued me to a mismatch between gtkhtml
and oaf (or was it bonobo?). evolution-mail clued me into problems with 
gnomevfs and GConf. 

The method I'm using is to set GNOME_PATH=/usr and then symlink whatever
Conf.sh files I have under /usr/local to equivalent locations under /usr. I can't 
figure out any other way to blend precompiled debs and my own builds under 
/usr/local. I just can't make the leap to building from source with prefix=/usr!

Thanks for the clues.
