Dan,

Thanks for the clarification.  Interestingly, I tried the --force-shutdown switch, and it does indeed shut down the background processes, but it leaves the evolution GUI running!  

This remnant seems useless, though, as all the background stuff needed to make it useful is gone - it just pops up failure dialogs.  Local folders etc, still seem to work, but I use connector to get to an exchange server.

Why doesn't the force-shutdown option kill everything?  Is this a policy decision, or should I bugzilla it?
