The problem is that evolution-mail isn't getting your environment
variable because it is launched by oaf which is already running because
you have nautilus running.

One quick fix is to run evolution-mail separately with that environment
variable turned on.  The way I fix it is by having export
GAL_DO_TOOLTIPS=1 in my .gnomerc before execing gnome-session.

The reason colors works is because that isn't an environment variable.
It's just always on now.
