Just my signatures I think... unless the disappearence of the 'Summary'
page is not intended?

I can't find the gconf-key you mention using gconf-editor.  It's just
not there!  After copying the signature directory across, I  renamed
~/evolution to ~/evolution(disabled) and now I get the drop down list of
signatures as before, but they are all blank.  Clearly Evolution is
still looking for them in ~/evolution because of the gconf key value but
how can I change a key value that isn't there? :-/
