Unlikely. IMO, you need to set the values as default after changing them. Open gconf-editor, change the values of view_default sizes, right click on those values and click on "Set as default" (and/or "Set as mandatory"). These values should be retained over multiple sessions. -Suman _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
