The way it works is that we have Evolution::ShellComponents (i.e. mail,
calendar, addressbook) and each of these components creates different
views.  Each view is a Bonobo::Control, which is itself a
component.  (The difference here is that Evolution::ShellComponent is a
non-graphical component, while a Bonobo::Control is a graphical
component.)

Now, each control handles the toolbar independently from the other
controls, and that's why you get flickering even when you switch between
controls that have been spawned by the same Evolution component.
