I assume the --express mode is related to <a
href="http://people.gnome.org/~michael/blog/evolution-express-for-
meego.html">this meego project</a>. which describes the calendar being
split off and run as a separate program, perhaps the same in Ubuntu? I'm
finding it hard to figure out what the Ubuntu devs have done, the
evolution man page doesn't mention --express and does mention a --usage
option which doesn't exist so I guess the man page has got out of sync
with the program.

Seems perfectly reasonable to me to discuss 1024x600 here rather than
starting a new thread to discuss the same issue. Perhaps the title
should be "Evolution is unusable at less than 1280x1024", but hey! I
didn't like the netbook edition, found it flashy, buggy and toy like, I
prefer to use the desktop edition even on a netbook. I think it's not
surprising that I had that experience given the much smaller user base
and therefore less devs and users testing it. "Special" editions are
always going to have that issue. A much better idea would be for the
standard desktop edition to add --express by default on smaller
resolution screens (assuming --express actually worked, which it
doesn't, well it helps a bit).

I agree a respectful atmosphere is important but I also think that if a
user's experience doesn't remotely match that promised by the
advertising then they will be justifiably annoyed, respect needs to go
both ways.
