1) This is defensible if everyone uses the same desktop, but they don't.
(Even if they did, I can easily imagine wanting different settings on
different apps).

2) Although copying the same code in every app is wasteful, an elegant
solution would have every app *interfacing* to the central control
system. The fact that they don't means there is an assumption that Gnome
is the desktop and the user will just click on the Gnome Control Panel.

3) The Novell page on Evo
(http://www.novell.com/products/desktop/features/evolution.html) does
not mention any dependance on the Gnome desktop.

Does anyone on the Evo development team use a desktop other than Gnome?
