The equivalent with kde is to run 'biditext startkde' . As before, this is
a bit of an overkill, as it will run all the processes with biditext hooks
(including any web browsers).

Alternatively you can try to track all the processes that are related to
evolution (all the bonobo stuff) and attmpt to have onlythem run with
biditext. For instance, kill all the evolution-related processes, as well
as any 'oafd' (maybe also wombat, and others), and then run 'biditext
evolution'

Hopefully the result will be that all the bonobo object-creating processes
will be ones that have spawned from your evolution process, and thus all
of the objects created will run with biditext.

I only did a small test, and such a methd seems to work, but it seems to
require some effort, and is error-prone.
