Okay, so, now, being ignorant in these things, could someone explain to me "why" this works?
And more specifically, if I run this as part of my x-session startup, will it cover more items, nut just Evolution?
Private responses are welcome, to keep list traffic down.
Thanks,
Asa Jay

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 $*
