Which date?(Or around what time of year.) The evolution mailing list is
quite full of your name, so I didn't found the right mail.

Yeah, but the probability that it is the same, is quite high I guess.

oaf-slay kills my oafd nicely.

bonobo-moniker-xmldb says:

$ bonobo-moniker-xmldb

And stops there forever.

I've never set up any GNOME_PATH, but all gnome programs except Evolution run

I've written kernel modules for some hardware, but making Evolution with bonobo
