First, can I ask that you don't 'reply' to an unrelated message if you
are sending an unrelated email - you may have changed the subject line,
but the email contains information about the message you replied to and
so is threaded with the "back from Outlook" thread.  It makes life very
confusing.

As other threads have said - Evo is inextricably linked to Gnome
versions - it is dependent not only on gtk, but on a whole raft of other
libraries.  The only reliable way to get hold of Evo 2.12.x is to
upgrade to Gnome 2.12.  To be honest, with Fedora, the easiest way is to
do that is to upgrade to Fedora 8 - especially as FC6 is no longer a
supported OS.
