Evolution problem

[Graeme Nichols]

Hello Folks,

I have a small problem with Evolution 1.0.9-11 on RH8, the version that
RH supplied as a security update for RH8 not long after RH8 was
released. The problem has been around for a long time and I couldn't be
bothered fixing it as updating Evolution is a labourious exercise
involving gnome.

However, I noticed a curious thing, if I ssh into my desktop machine
from my laptop to run evolution (so as to keep things in one place on
one machine) and I do a search on my inbox the resulting matches
highlight the word searched on in the emails. If I then go to my desktop
machine and do the same the search word is again highlighted but if I
exit Evolution and re-start it and do the search again the search word
is completely missing, no blank space in place of it just a single space
character. This missing highlight is the problem I've had all along and
I simply thought it was a bug in the Evolution version I have.

The question is: Why does it work when I ssh in from my laptop and why
does it still work when I go back to my desktop machine but NOT after
killing Evolution and re-starting it on the desktop. Anyone have an
answer? Both machines are running RH8 but the version of Evolution
installed on the laptop is the original version from the distribution
CDs, it hasn't had the security fix applied. But that shouldn't make a
difference as when I ssh into my desktop machine to run Evolution on the
laptop I am running the Evolution installed on the desktop, Aren't I?

Kind regards,
