I just upgraded from 9.3 to 10.0 and found that Evolution showed up on my start menu. Being the curious type, I fired it up just to take a look, spent a few minutes looking it over, then quit it. Apparently, that simple looksee caused something somewhere to permanently decide that evolution needs to run a data server and alarm monitor process in the background. helphand 9199 9115 0 20:53 ? 00:00:00 /opt/gnome/lib64/evolution/2.4/evolution-alarm-notify --sm-config-prefix /evolution-alarm-notify-0dAPCG/ --sm-client-id 10d0c6dad4000116328594100000071660015 --screen 0 helphand 9237 1 0 20:53 ? 00:00:00 /opt/gnome/lib64/evolution-data-server-1.2/evolution-data-server-1.4 --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_DataServer_CalFactory:1.4 --oaf-ior-fd=26 These survive reboots and logging in and out of my KDE session. I've grepped around the various ~/. files and directories looking for whatever causes them to start up, but no luck. Anyone have a clue on how to make these things not start up, I have no plans to switch to evolution.
