[Evolution] Addressbook problems: Was Trouble with Contacts

["Gonyou, Austin" <austin coremetrics com>]

One thing I've noticed about the latest RC snapshots with LDAP support is
that the address book won't pull from LDAP sources. I have a single ldap
server defined in "Address book Sources" and when I write a new email, click
"To:" to bring up the contacts list. Only "Contacts" is listed for the list
to search from. Should the LDAP sources be in there too? 

To make a long story short, it seems as though the addressbook is a
hinge-point for these issues?
