Re: [Evolution] (bug!) Emacs keys again...

[Roland Orre <orre bacon su se>]

Now I've cleary found that the key issue is a bug in evolution!

I went to the shell, did
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme -t string Emacs
just to be sure,
started evolution
went to the menu, asking for "New", then the keys worked in the
composer.
Discarded this mail, and asked for "New" again,
now the keys are fu..ed up!

As this has been an issue for several years, I've had problems with
the  keys in evolution in every major upgrade I've done the last
years, since the emacs-key mode setting was removed from evolution.
I got it working every time, but now it seems as evolution
is finally dead.

If someone could hint me about where to fix it, hint me about
how to get the fix quickly into the distribution, then I could
consider continue evolution, but with the important editing
keys messed up, it is useless.

        Best regards
        Roland
