Hi Raul, 

Approximately 2-3 evolution processes stay around running in the
background after you quit: evolution-alarm-notify,
evolution-data-server, and evolution-exchange-storage (if you use
Connector).  I'm not sure if all of those stay around, but at least a
couple do.  Running evolution-2.0 --force-shutdown is supposed to really
kill everything.

Hmm...not good.  No, not good at all.  I sure don't appreciate an
application doing stuff like this without anything in the documentation
to even suggest this.

perhaps you'd like to enlighten us on how to set off calendar alarms
without having any processes running?

evolution-alarm-daemon keeps running and possibly evolution-data-server
(I think alarm-daemon depends on this?)

evolution-exchange-storage does not

  Or worse the inability to make it stop (short of
a logging in and logging out - though I still need to test whether it
actually stops even through that).  

???

That is part of the problem, logging out does not stop all of the
evolution processes (at least on Linux).  I consider this either a bug
or a design flaw (I hope it is a bug)

FYI - running evo 2.0.3 on Gentoo using enlightenment (not Gnome).

This is not good


Also, when I log back in and start evolution, the following warning
message comes up in a pop up window:

"""
Error while Scanning folders in "Exchange server xxxxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx

Could not connecto to Evolution Exchange backend process: No such file
or directory.
"""

I clik OK since it is the only option, authenticate to Exchange and go
on my merry way.  If I do an 'evolution --force-shutdown' before I log
out of X, I do not get this error message on restart.  Seems to be
related to the above processes still running in background after I log
out, but the exchange connector is not, so the IPC between data server
and connector is not there, hence warning.  

my $.02; Evolution is great, just not yet ready to replace Outlook on
the Enterprise Corporate Desktop; but it will be eventually thanks to
all those working hard developing Evolution.
