Re: [Evolution] Opera and evo..

Hmmm... that's right, Gnome has some duplicated setup there doesn't it?  Well, the instructions for setting 
up Gnome at 
the bottom of my original post (see below) work fine for me.  Clicking any link from Evo opens up a new Opera 
window.

I also thought that Opera is supposed to understand Netscape Remote Control, though I explicitly use the 
opera "-
newwindow" flag instead.
