Regarding the "cannot start the Evolution shell..." -- Evolution uses
bononbo-activation and oafd.  It's all kinds of bad.  The evolution
install adds new paths to the configs.  I'm working on this now, but,
for the most part:

alias killGnome="bonobo-slay; oaf-slay; pkill -9 oafd; pkill -9 gconf;
pkill -9 bonobo; pkill -9 wombat; pkill -9 esd"

Run it and then restart evolution.
