I guessed at the time that it was a problem with my X install, but
perhaps not; I tried exporting Evo to my SGI machine, running IRIX 6.5. 
Didn't get any toolbars at all, but it was usable using right-clicks to
choose things like reply.  It /is/ a very old X install, but other apps
(mozila, other gtk mail clients) export to it fine.  Any ideas, guys?
