Have you tried Noa Resare's 1.5.4 RPMS?  A few glitches (just found a
problem with a hang when trying to do calendar) but at least can now do
e-mail without crashes.  Filed a bugzilla report (https://bugzilla.
redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=115786) on evolution problems with a
suggestion to consider 1.5.4 them for FC2.

Me too, but in my case it's the stuff from FreshRPMS, ATrpms, Dag, et
al.  Have had fair luck building FC1 FreshRPMS multimedia stuff from
SRPMS.
