Very interesting.  I can lock the keyboard by entering a smiley into the
text and then unlock it by changing the font size in
        Edit>Preferences>Mail Preferences>General>Message Display.  

However when I lock the keyboard by changing from "HTML" to "Plain
Text", I can't unlock the keyboard because the menu bar is locked up 
along with the keyboard as long as the composer window is open.  Maybe 
color change is only one aspect of this problem.  

Would it help if I filed a formal bug in the Redhat Bugzilla?

In reply to Bart's question, the last version that I ran on Fedora-16 was:
        evolution-3.2.3-3.fc16.x86_64.rpm
I had trouble with earlier versions, but don't remember exactly when the
trouble began.

BTW: In the past I've had trouble compiling Evolution; it looked like I
had to compile great parts of Gnome too.  Is this still true?  Or am I
mistaken?
