Geez this bug goes back to 2003! It appears to be relentless, a bug that will
stay dead...it is a 'zombie bug' (The bug is *not* present on my Fedora 14 system).

Perhaps the developers need to consider placing the Cancel Ok buttons on the top :)

Note the "evolution --express" command does not solve the problem.
