I get it also, but it doesn't stop Evolution from running. I just click
"OK" to close the error window, and Evolution loads fine. I haven't
tried running oafslay or killev to see if it will make the message not
recur.

I'm running Mandrake Cooker, originally from Dec. 24, 2001, but with
some updates. Evolution version 1.0.1 (1mdk).
