I followed the instructions from the web site and got it to work under Mandrake 9.0. I'll concede that the current instructions are exceptionally error-prone. You may want to try running "gconftool -a /system/gnome-vfs" to double-check what you entered. We're working on getting a GUI front-end for this out the door in the near future that will make the error-prone manual entry unnecessary. -- Mark Gordon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
