I've a *very* heavy Evolution user.

FWIW, on my heavily modded FC1 install, I installed the newest Ximiam
published libgal2 and gtkhtml3 "RHL9" RPMs.

I then tried to install the "RL9" Evo 1.4.6 package but got a dependency
error.

I grabbed the latest 1.4.5 evo src.rpm from rawhide, and dropped in the
1.4.6 tarball. I had to remove about 10 patches from the spec file that
are now officially part of 1.4.6, and then built a binary RPM.

I've been using it for 24 hours without any crashes and "offline" now
actually works.

Two thumbs up here for shipping Evolution 1.4.6 with FC2.
