[Evolution] Remote use of evolution

[Greg Stovall <gstovall employees org>]

I've liked what I've seen so far with evolution, but I have a problem when trying
to use it remotely (like over ssh). I ssh (using v2) into my box, but when I fire
up evolution, I get the following:

28:C1109140-C$ evolution --no-splash --disable-sound              

evolution-shell-WARNING **: Could not start up component for OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Calendar_ShellComponent. 
(See previous error messages?)

evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot activate Evolution component -- 
OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Calendar_ShellComponent

evolution-shell-WARNING **: Could not start up component for 
OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_ShellComponent. (See previous error messages?)

evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot activate Evolution component -- 
OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_ShellComponent

evolution-shell-WARNING **: Could not start up component for OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Summary_ShellComponent. 
(See previous error messages?)

evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot activate Evolution component -- 
OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Summary_ShellComponent

and on and on...

The evolution window comes up, but the main panel says "no mailbox".

I've made sure my environment variables more or less match what I have when
I try it locally. I've tried various flags with evo to get around this (--oaf-private
& --sm-disable), all to no avail. I think I'm just missing some small flag or
environment variable that would make this work, but I'm at a loss as to what it
would be. My deep knowledge of things gnome is pathetic at best, so any
pointers on where to find a solution would be much appreciated. My X
forwarding through ssh seems to work fine, as I can start other apps (gnumeric,
pan, kmail, knode, etc...).
