Hi Bob,
I saw that. As a work around use "File->exit" for now, should work. I
will port my application/extension to evo. 1.4.X and when I have time
take a look at this problem. 
Also call for help see below.

Yeap, should have qualified it under gmome-2.4X. But this is the garnome
list and we are running 2.4X aren't we? (how is that for a lame excuse
:-))
Anyhow while you are on it. I saw that if you do not have an icon
associated with a file type and you attach a file to an email, nothing
shows up in the attachment pane in evolution, if you open an email send
to you it will show the usual selection. 
Can you verify this and test it under gnome2.2 with evo 1.4.  Also give
us a hint which icon shows up if any, my guess is we some how lost a
default icon in gtk.
BTW I use Bluecruve as a theme, just in case your system some how works.
As a work around assign icons to file types you want to attach to
evolution mail, works for me. I just declare everything to be txt :-).

Thanks,
Ronald
