For the record, I didn't "ask" another question. I just reported what
happened to me while trying to use a feature that was very straight forward
in previous versions of Evo. If that wasn't broken, why fix it then? That's
the whole thing with 1.4. It's all broken at features that were there
before, used to work, and now...

this is what happens when gtk2 changes behaviour and makes things
impossible to do anymore :-)

As has been said, and needs to be reiterated - most of the problems
being reported in this thread are down to resources the Evolution
developers have had thrust upon them, and over which they have no
control.  So lets take a breath and give them the applause they deserve
for getting us a 1.4.0 release that's as stable as it is, considering
that most all of the 1.3.x releases probably didn't get the heavy
testing they needed and that 1.4.0 is now getting, to find these
problems.  From my POV, I run on Solaris, and so *none* of the 1.3.x
builds I had access to were really usable at all, and that 1.4.0 works
so well was a major surprise ;O)

We have here a major upgrade of underlying libraries, and yet we have a
product that's *more* stable than 1.2.4.99 ever was.  And you
*complain*?  How much did you pay for this?

Ta,
