There are 2 alternatives what to do:
1.  make the evolution appear normal.  this can be done by editing 
/usr/share/applications/evolution.desktop.   Change the "Exec=evolution %U" 
line to "Exec=evolution" (my understanding the %U adds the "--express" switch) 
and then re-login.  Problem with this approach is that on small netbook 
displays the full version doesn't work very well.  Another problem is that it 
is sort of visually unstable.  after a few switches between the mail, calendar, 
tasks and memos the section where normally menu is located gets lost and the 
whole image shifts downwards so that the botom status line gets cropped from 
the screen.

another approach which worked better for me was to do the following
1. sudo cp /usr/share/applications/evolution-mail.desktop 
/usr/share/applications/evolution-tasks.desktop
2. sudo cp /usr/share/applications/evolution-mail.desktop 
/usr/share/applications/evolution-memos.desktop
3.  edit the files, change the first four lines to:
Name=Evolution Tasks
Comment=Manage tasks
Exec=evolution --component=tasks --express
Icon=evolution-tasks
(and similarly for evolution-memos.desktop)
4.  relogin, find the new applications in the app finder and put them to the 
sidebar.

hope this helps
