The way I do it is have my desktop icon/link execute a wrapper script
/usr/local/bin/Evolution which looks like:
-> cat /usr/local/bin/Evolution
##
## Deal with Sound
##
#
# For Arts wrapping
#
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libartsdsp.so:/usr/lib/libartsc.so

if [ ! `/sbin/pidof esd` ]
then
        esd -nobeeps -spawnfd 4 &
fi

##
## End of Sound Stuff
##

evolution $*
