I was not so lucky. The gnome update for 10.0 that came out a bit back did 
not, I see now, include an update to evolution. The gnome update for 10.2 
does include evolution, which was my error. I mixed the info in my simple 
brain. I think the issue is that the gnome upgrade went to a new release 
number, which includes moving icons and who knows what else to a new 
directory. Oddly, the gnome upgrade seems to have removed older gnome 
components that were in their own directories minding their own business. The 
gnome update I did was from a directory marked stable. I also see warnings 
like:

  GtkWarning: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "qtengine",

when starting any apps that use gtk. This includes firefox, acroread, smart 
(with --gui). But they at least seem to run ok. Only evolution is stuck in a 
futex() call.
