I did the same when Garnome-2.6.x was first released, due to buggy Evolution.
1.4.6 is buggy too, but at least, does not crash as much in my testing and
production environment.
I have copied "evolution" and all dependencies from older Garnome, and it
worked well.

I'm using also Sun Java System Calendar Server Connector for Evolution (quite
long name), which was codenamed "Hydrogen" before. Works well on Linux and
Solaris.

Just if anybody is interested.

I really hope, new Evo will be stable soon. The only thing I was missing there
was "Summary" window with RSS aggregators :(
