Ok, thanks that explains and solves it.

So basically this means that all the direct google interface support
should be phased out, because it can't work anymore?

But then also doesn't that mean that evolution is even more dependent
on having gnome running?

(The reason I didn't mention the evolution version, is that I am on a
Debian Jessie, and their version doesn't seem to be any official. This
is an old version (3.12.9 they say) but if you look more closely there
seem to be a lot of patches applied.)


Thanks
Jens
