I did file a bug (sorry I forgot to post that here).  But today I used
jhbuild to create a local Evo 3.6.4 and tried that, and it worked fine
so that bug has been fixed since 3.6.0 was released and I resolved the
bug again.

The new Evo seems to work great, but it doesn't use any of my local
desktop theming since I installed it into /opt/gnome (?).  So it looks
somewhat clunky and old-school with the base theming and icons.
However, it works better and that's more important to me than having it
look pretty :-).  The only really annoying thing is that when I use
mouse selection, I get black foreground AND background resulting in
unreadable selected text.  If anyone knows how to fix that I'd
appreciate it.


I did note with interest the recently-reported possibility of Ubuntu
moving to a "rolling release" model in between the Long Term Support
releases.  If they did that I wonder if they could be convinced to
package the Gnome point releases as they come out.  That would be a huge
advantage (to me anyway).
