[Evolution] bugs, features and flying documents

[Thomas Emmel <emmel mechanik tu-darmstadt de>]

Hello all,

after 2 weeks of evolution I am addicted to it!
It is just amazing what you are programming.
DnD seems to work now, currently without droping to the shortcuts,
but I think this will be implemented in the next days?!
The only funny thing are those pictures of small papers or
documents, which will normaly appear if try to drop to the wrong place,
appearing suddenly sometimes on my desktop, crossing my terminals
and disappear afterwards.
This happens after using DnD from folder to folder or from folder
to shortcut, but now it is only funny to see those "ghosts" on my
desktop...

But here is my  real problem:

first of all I did and still do not get the documentation to be build,
during make I get these errors:

db2html ./evolution.sgml
input file was called evolution.sgml -- output will be in evolution
TMPDIR is db2html.EGYToe
working on ./evolution.sgml
jade:E: cannot find "./evolution.sgml"; tried "./evolution.sgml",
"/usr/share/sgml/docbkdsl/./evolution.sgml"
about to copy cascading stylesheet and admon graphics to temp dir
about to rename temporary directory to "evolution"

after that I have only a directory containing 
docbook.css  and stylesheet-images with the images, but no html.

The next try was to call db2html alone with no path to the sgml-file:
db2html evolution.sgml
which gives:
input file was called evolution.sgml -- output will be in evolution
TMPDIR is db2html.XUn1ck
working on ../evolution.sgml

now there are several html-files but only thin and poor ones:
