Re: [Evolution] Is it just me?

[Jeff Bond <jeff pixelfusion co uk>]

Aha! Someone who agrees with me at last!

Actually, I am using a custom font (helvetica), but with the default
gnome theme. Would this cause a problem? Maybe helvetica is the default
font anyway, but I certainly have the 'use custom font' button selected.

I can't really say that any version has been much better than any other
version in terms of stability. It always starts up (maybe after deleting
~/evolution), but can always be made to crash just by selecting folders
to view, or doing very simple things with the GUI.

I still maintain that the simple stuff should be made rock-solid before
adding new stuff.
