  This is not Evolution's fault; your machine is running out of shared
memory segments.  Restarting the GNOME session will fix this problem.


It appears to be Evolution's fault. If I run anything but it, I get no
SHM warnings. For instance, I log in, and run gcalc. Then I run glimmer.
No warnings. THen I quit both gcalc and glimmer and run evo. No
warnings. Then I run Glimmer. LOTS and LOTS of warnings! And I keep
getting them until I log out nad log back in (i.e., get a new
gnome-session). What's wrong here? Is there a setting somewhere I can
tweak to fix this? I upped my shared-memory via proc:


[rothwell gromit rothwell]$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax 
70000000
[rothwell gromit rothwell]$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmall 
4194304

... but that doesn't seem to be the problem, and sometimes Evo itself
causes the SHM errors (see below). In short, help! Running X apps w/o
shared memory makes them reallllly sloooow -- especially things like
glimmer.
