[Evolution] Mandrake/Evolution/VNC Problem solved.

[kcorey <evolution kencorey com>]

Hi All,

Just wanted to answer my own question for the sake of others in the same
situation.

Situation: 

Mandrake 8.1 (running Xft), Evolution 1.0.8, VNC 3.3.3 (server) VNC
3.3.2 (client).

Symptom: 

Titlebar/menu fonts appear as boxes, editing window did not appear at
all for new mail.

Hint: 

When changing the fontpath in vncserver to /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/misc/,
could get evolution running (albeit in an amazingly ugly fashion).

Solution:  

Upgrade to vnc 3.3.4 on both client and server solved the editing window
not appearing.

Instead of looking at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config-4.eg (which
specified a font path of unix/:7101), look at the actual configuration
file for X Windows /etc/X11/XF86Config, which specified unix/:7100 for
windows.

Ah, the value of 20/20 hind sight.

Hope this helps someone else.
