I can only answer your addressbook questions, so here goes:

I saw this recently too.  I'll try to look into it before 0.6.

Could you explain this a bit more?  I don't understand.

It doesn't autoload your .gnome/GnomeCard.gcrd file.  I'm positive of
that.  That's what load-gnomecard-addressbook is for.  .gcrd and
addressbook.db are completely different formats.  Hopefully
load-gnomecard-addressbook will be integrated into evolution proper once
we have a GUI for importing things from other projects.

Could you send me your gnomecard file so I could have a look at these
cards?


Thanks for the reports,
