Yes, restoring them should work fine. However, before you restore them, you must stop any running processes of Evolution AND gconfd. This is done by running the following commands, in this order: evolution --force-shutdown gconftool-2 --shutdown Then restore the files/directories and restart Evolution. HTH Greg
