Good afternoon,

I have a similar question or concern. I have evolution running all the
time on my main desktop (or as all the time as it manages to stay
up ...) and I want to be able to open another evolution window, not a
whole new evolution instance on another display (tunneled X over SSH).
How do I do so?
