So far as I can tell, RHEL 4 is a recent release and should support
Evolution 2.6.  But hey, I'm a Gentoo guy - what would I know about it?

As for the icons missing, I have found that there is something I needed
called the hicolor-icon-theme.  But I have no idea where you find that
sort of thing for RHEL.


Anyhow, here is the dependency list for Evolution.  These are Gentoo
dependencies, but they should give you a good idea of what is required.
My money is on your Gnome Version being too low.  

As for blaming Evolution - all I can tell you is that it is flawless on
my system so it may be a Distro issue.
