I think the problem is that Evolution doesn't restart properly when run from the session manager after login. It might be a race condition in OAF of some kind, but I am not sure. I actually thought we fixed that a while ago.>From a clean boot up (Red Hat 7.2, stock kernel, with Ximian Gnome 1.4, evo 1.0.0.99)I log into Gnome, start up Evo and all is well. As long as I don't log out of gnome ( I boot into X using the GDM, init level 5), I can shut down Evo, let the screen saver kick in (password protected) launch Evo and all is good. Once I log out of gnome and then log back in, when I try to launch Evo it fails with a "Cannot find database files" error. If I run oaf-slay then all is good until the next logout; then it's the same thing all over again.
In that case, the solution would be to quit Evolution before quitting the GNOME session.
I don't know about the keyboard-mouse lock. It might be related to the death of Nautilus when you do oaf-slay, but that sounds strange.Now what's worse is that with RH 7.2, running oaf-slay to get evo to launch totally locks up the keyboard/mouse one out of 4 times. I know linux is still running because the others that access the internet though the box can still access the internet. The only way to get the keyboard/mouse back is to hit the power button (ouch!) and then power the system back up.
