[Evolution] Compose window pauses

[Vera Childs <vera dc-vc net>]

Hi, I'm running Mandrake 9.1 with Evolution 1.2.4 (mdk rpm).

The last few weeks, I've noticed that I will intermittently get a pause
while typing a message in the compose window. I will be typing along,
and suddenly the window just locks up for a few seconds. I have to wait
for it to come back, and then it shows anything I typed during that
time. It's a wee bit annoying though. This only started recently, and
was working fine for a while when I first upgraded to this version.

Also, sometimes bringing up the Compose window will be very slow. I
think it's related. Something is periodically taking control of the
process and just locking up that window. It's happened twice while
typing this message.

I haven't seen this problem in any other program... Vi, OpenOffice, etc.
all seem to work fine.

Any ideas?
