This has been a problem for some for a long time. It is still a problem for me. I've tried many things to correct this, but to no avail - I have to run "oaf-slay' every time BEFORE I start Evo or I get the dreaded message.
I have sent in traces, etc., but have gotten nothing to try from the folks at Ximian yet that solved this problem.
