Re: [Evolution] Folders order

[Lennard Bakker <bakkerl lamp xs4all nl>]

Oke, the problem is an evironment.
The situation is:
BoxA: Windows with X terminal
BoxB: A random RedHat installation
BoxC: A RedHat installation with evolution (no screen attached)

When i use boxA evolution will be started with an REXEC on boxC.
When i use boxB, it will connect with ssh to boxC (with X11 forwarding)
and than evolution is started.

When i use boxA, make a connection to boxC with putty (also with X11
forwarding) than the folders are sorted the same way as from boxB :)

(from boxB, ssh to boxC and set the DISPLAY by hand (without X11
forwaring) it gave the same result as normal connection from boxB)

So this the problem is the environment is different between a RECEX and
a ssh. Oke, first part of the problem solved :)

Now i have to find out what is different between environment, and what
setting causes this change.
