Since SuSE 7.3 and definitely with SuSE 8.0, there is adequate resources within SuSE to install and maintain a functioning copy of evolution. And if you want the latest, greatest and possibly bleeding edge version of evolution then there is always James Oakley's excellent site at www.usr-local-bin.org
That's James Ogley ;-) Incidentally, sorry to anyone who tried to email me at usr-local-bin.org this week, as part of transferring the site to our new cluster of web servers (damn cool beans, the site's super-speedy now!), I b0rked the DNS setup - referenced the wrong MX's - now fixed :)
If you now have KDM as your graphical login, my recommendation would be to ignore GDM - some people will disagree. Within KDE go to contol centre -> system -> login manager -> session, there remove the available session gnome and replace with gnome-session. This will allow you to log in to a ximian-gnome session. As you have installed some of ximian-gnome then you can never go into a gnome session that is not ximian.
I agree with this - makes living with SuSE a lot easier, even a hardened GNOME addict like me uses KDM ;) -- James Ogley, Unix Systems Administrator, Pinnacle Insurance Plc james.ogley@pinnacle.co.uk www.pinnacle.co.uk +44 (0) 20 8731 3619 Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.0) Updated GNOME RPMs for SuSE Linux: www.usr-local-bin.org *********************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY.
