The strange thing is that I have installed evolution on my "clean" school computer and it works fine. My problems are on my home computer which used to run evolution fine until my unfortunate accident. I've compared the files in /usr/share/oaf on both computers and they seem to be identical, but one works and the other does not. :-( As I said before, I purged evolution (and all of gnome) from my home computer and then reinstalled. All to no effect. Note: I'm using apt with the ximian Debian packages on a Debian potato system. Matt ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

In my case it was a missing .oaf file (I believe it was /usr/local/share/oaf/Bonobo_Moniker_xmldb.oaf). But this wasn't the case for others who had the problem. I don't recall what their fix was. It's in the archives from a month or two ago. Dan ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

I just upgraded to 0.12 and still no luck. Is it actually a file that is missing? Where should it be?
