Re: [Evolution] Evolution 1.4.4 performance on KDE 3.1

Jeff,

You may well be right regarding configuration, but what in particular?  I suspect that something is wrong with my gnome configuration in general, because I cannot get evolution to open a web browser if one is already running - all my settings in gnome-control-center seem to get ignored.  I "fixed" it by changing the mozilla script in the mozilla installation.

So far, as you say, all responses seem to be from SuSE 8.2 users.  However, 1.2.2 is OK on the same setup.
