	I don't follow.

	Okay, let me put it this way. The clock applet integration will
probably be in before the 2.6 feature freeze, but it will only be built
if e-d-s is installed. It only makes sense to have the clock integration
in the desktop if evolution is in the desktop and, thus, it only makes
sense to have e-d-s in the desktop if you have evolution in the desktop.

	At the moment, the two go hand in hand as far as I'm concerned. Simple
as that.

Cheers,
Mark.
