Evolution problem

I would suspect it's a font issue. You may have chosen a font that doesn't
have a valid reverse/bold/whatever attribute. I've had this type of
problem and fixed it by changing the font I use. I apologize for not
knowing the actual font I selected, or even where I changed, it, but I
noticed the problem went away when I used VNC to run Evolution. In order
for VNC not to conflict with my desktop, or mess it up, I run VNC using
KDE and locally run Gnome. Try that to verify which does what, if you feel
up to it.
