Nothing interesting.  Doing a bunch of changes, a new keyboard, Some
other hardware stuff.  Just wanted power off while doing it.

I guess I don't.  I have no idea what or who org.freedesktop.DBus is or
why I'd want to access it.  That was kind of why I posted the message.

I show two packages available; gnome-session-default-session and
gnome-session-fallback-session.  Neither of these are installed.  I use
KDE as the default DM but I know I need some Gnome stuff for some Gnome
apps I use.  I had relied on openSUSE to install the needed dependencies
and start the required apps/services.

Actually, aside from some minor things, like the missing contacts, and
not picking up user accounts when replying, Evolution seems to be
working rather well.

I kind of thought they might be.  Probably related to the window sizes
not being remembered between startups.

I really posted all this only because I thought the experts here might
recognize some of this stuff, and/or recommend I file bug report(s).  I
guess I'm just trying to do my share, but needed some input on whether
or not I should, in this case, do anything.
