Well, I just tried that. And here's what happened - after typing
"evolution" in the 2nd terminal (i.e, I did not use gdb in the 2nd
terminal to run "evolution", I just typed it in at the command line), I
saw the splash screen come up. And then it just sat there. The gdb
terminal running evolution-mail said this:

turgon minas-aran tmp]$ gdb evolution-mail

And everything just waits. I never even got INTO evolution. Yet running
it without using gdb,  makes it come up just fine (as witnessed by this
email, written in Evo :-).

Did I miss another step? Why does it pause when run from gdb, and not
from the command line? And what do I do to get around that?
