Re: [Evolution] Could not create compose window - Redhat 7.0

[Rodd Clarkson <rodd redfishbluefish com au>]

Thanks to those that replied (and those that gave it thought but had
nothing to add).

I've solved the problem, but it's not a solution I like.  I reinstalled
everything.

I'm still using RH7.0 (which may  not be a great choice, but I know it
and had the disks handy)  Interestingly, the box started of as RH6.2 and
got upgraded to RH7.0  and has (of course) had a huge amount update,
upgrade, add, removed and whatnot.  The system (while not unstable
before) seems to be more like it should have been, with a lot of things
working just a little different that before.  (Very strange).

Whilst not anywhere near as bad as upgrading Windows (it was still very
stable after the upgrade) it does makeyou wonder whether upgrading is a
good idea if you can avoid it.  But this is of course another toipic for
another day and another list.

Thanks all.

Enjoy evolution, I do!

Finally using compose on evolution to pst to this list!
