Clock applet is more expensive than other clocks!

[Paul Johnson]

I think you are not using the rpm query correctly.  Look at the yum
dependencies:

# yum install beagle

Why in the shell should I have to have evolution and evolution-sharp
which depend on beagle in order to have beagle itself?

But evolution was not my original complaint.  My complaint was that
the clock can't be used unless you also install evolution-data-server.
 I just wanted a clock.   In reality, You can't install FC5 with gnome
unless you install evolution-data-server.

Well, to paraphrase Winston Churchill, I guess Fedora is like
democracy.  Its the worst Linux distribution there is, except for the
alternatives.
