i missed the non-standard directory thing.  Is this the same install
prefix to which evolution-1.0.5 had been installed?  If not, is 1.0.5
still installed?

Make sure the following two things have been done:

1. your PATH includes $install_prefix/bin

   (so oafd can find the executables)

2. one of the following two choices:
   a. your OAF_INFO_PATH env var includes $install_prefix/share/oaf
   b. your GNOME_PATH env var includes $install_prefix

  (so oafd can find the .oaf files)

I have evolution 1.2 installed into /opt/evolution here, and have the
following settings:

GNOME_PATH=/usr/local:/usr:/opt/evolution
PATH=....:/opt/evolution/bin

make those changes, run killev, kill oafd then restart evolution.
