[Evolution] Two recent problems with evolution and how I fixed them

[Ibukun Okitika <ibukun computer org>]

Just a suggestion for those trying to use Evolution with Mandrake 8.0: I
had a lot of trouble getting the first snapshot of 0.12.99 to start up.
Eventually it turned out that unless I passed the parameters
--oaf-private and --display=:0.0 to the program it would not start. I
figured something must be wrong with oaf, so I downloaded the latest oaf
packages from the cooker and installed them. Like I thought, evolution
now starts normally. The second problem was that anytime I clicked the
compose button, the mail component crashed with the error

Bonobo-WARNING **: Exception on unrealize 'Unknown CORBA exception id:
'IDL:CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0''

I figured this must be a problem with bonobo. I decided to do the same
thing - went to the Mandrake cooker and downloaded the latest versions
of libbonobo2, libbonobo-conf and bonobo-conf. After installing those
everything works well. So if you're having similar problems you might
want to make sure your packages are up to date and in sync. The bonobo
problem on mine my have been the result of the fact that I had the
latest version of bonobo but not the latest version of libbonobo2 -
perhaps the experts would know about that.
