[Evolution] problems with composer

[D R Holsbeck <drh niptron com>]

I am having problems creating messaages, when you hit the "new message" 
button or ctrl+N i intermitently get an error

        Could not create composer window
        Unable to activate HTML editor component.

        The error from the component system is:
        Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0'

but after hitting the ok button and retrying it will work. some times it
takes a few tries.

I am running redhat 7.1, evolution 1.1, and the latest gnome stuff.
I did find multiple libgtkhtml's. I removed the extra's. I checked the

/etc/oaf/oaf-config.xml

        <?xml version="1.0"?>
        <oafconfig>
          <searchpath>
        <item>/usr/share/oaf</item>
        <item>/usr/share/gnome</item></searchpath>
        </oafconfig>

which includes a path to the evolution oaf files. all the binaries are
in /usr/bin, which is in the default path.

ANY info would be greatly apreciated.
