FC4 originally shipped with GNOME 2.10, including Evo 2.2.2. Just like
any other other distro, they usually don't update large things like the
entire Desktop. And Evo 2.4 is part of GNOME 2.12.

Maybe there are other non Fedora resources that offer Evo 2.4 for FC4.
Dunno, don't use Fedora. :)

Leaving this one up for others to answer. ;)

I assume you filed bugs at bugzilla.gnome.org for all of em, didn't you?

No. See above.

FWIW, FC5 will ship GNOME 2.14 (and thus Evo 2.6) in a few months.
Current development version already ships uptodate Evo 2.5.x development
releases.
