Questions about RH, Gnome, and Evolution

[Bryce C]

On Mandrake 8.2 (latest) at least, there is an RPM for it as gconf-*. 
You could also re-install nautilus but then try taking away the
executable bit.  That's how I temporarily disable cron scripts.

P.S. I'm writing this on Evolution 1.0.2 and obviously it works.  E-mail
me off-list for help with possible proxy problems.  Now that's a tongue
twister.
