Still don't know if I can reproduce the same fault in 10.04 but I have
discovered that the problem has nothing to do with Evolution.  It only
occurs if your screensaver "password locks" your login.  Switch off this
option off, everything works fine.  I suspect that once the password
lock option is enabled the computer stops listening to, or responding
to, the USB hub in the KVM switch, probably because the password bit of
code hasn't been properly updated to cope with USB keyboard inputs.

You could probably reproduce the fault using your keyboard via any USB
hub, but you might need to unplug this and plug it in again or do
something similar to simulate the KVM switching to another computer and
then back again.

So currently either you have a physically insecure account or one so
secure not even you can talk to it.:-)

Best regards

Nick
