Beta5 is about 2-3 weeks old.  Definetly WAY too old.

No not yet, we might be skipping it for beta7.

There's been some lag in snapshots too, so dont try any older than one
that should be released today.

Not right now, we're in a feature freeze state for 1.0.

You could try creating a patch, but its unlikely we'd put it in till
after 1.0.

Umm, i'm not sure.

I think you just have to do it manually for now, or perhaps you can copy
a config file to a different location, e.g.

in ~/evolution/config

there are a bunch of files starting with et-header-

These are the ones loaded to configure the headers, you could perhaps
try copying from one that you like to the others you want to be setup
the same.  The rest of the filename is the 'url' used to open them, for
vfolders its the path of the home directory + the name of the vfolder.
