I actually figured this one out last night, thanks to a kind soul on
#gnome. If you install the devilspie application and add something like
this to ~/.devilspie/evolution.ds

(if
        (is (application_name) "evolution")
        (begin
                (set_workspace 2)
                (maximize)
        )
)

and then add devilspie into the startup programs, it will automatically
move evolution to workspace 2 and maximize it. This works with metacity
(i.e. not beryl/compiz) only.
