Re: [Evolution] Remote use of evolution

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

Perhaps trying killing all oafd, gconfd, and evolution processes on the
remote server before starting evolution?

Whenever I ssh into our Solaris box to do some `purify`ing, I use ssh's
X forwarding and it works fine for me. I don't do anything special, so I
don't really know what to say.
