  I think the problem is that Evolution doesn't restart properly when run from the session manager after login.  It might be a race condition in OAF of some kind, but I am not sure.  I actually thought we fixed that a while ago.

  In that case, the solution would be to quit Evolution before quitting the GNOME session.

  I don't know about the keyboard-mouse lock.  It might be related to the death of Nautilus when you do oaf-slay, but that sounds strange.
