Sorry for the delay.  Using AZ's deb, I tried selecting a section of the
Evolution window and not the border, and indeed it seemed to work.
However, there are some problems.  First, and minor, when clicking on
the close button on Evolution after using Alltray with it, it closes.
Normally, it would just minimize to the tray.  Second, and more
troublesome, after a couple of times accessing Evolution, it no longer
leaves the bottom bar when minimized to the tray.  To reproduce, click
on the Evolution icon in the tray (ala Alltray), then minimize back to
the tray.  Do this a few times and you should see Evolution now shows up
in the task bar as any other program would.  At first it is not there,
as it should not be.

Perhaps the most sever issue was starting it from a script at boot.
Using the same basic script suggested by the Alltray author, I set it to
start up with the session through the sessions feature in preferences.
When I reboot, the system would not boot.  I can't remember exactly
where it stopped, but I'm sure it was when the script was called.  IT
just stayed blank and I  had to boot into the repair mode to rename the
script so it would not load in order to use the system again.

So, I would say there are definitely still issues.  The original author
told me he thought he knew what the problem was when I contacted him,
but he was clear about not having time to deal with it.  You might email
him and see if he can point you to something you didn't think of?  Just
a thought, thanks for the work on this.  I'll monitor this thread for
any more developments.  Until then, I've turned off compiz just to get
the Alltray functionality back.  I really like having Evolution running
that way, seems a feature missing from it actually.
