I sort of had as a back burner project getting everything together

However, yesterday I checked to see if nautilus was available precompiled
and it was. I'm downloading it now to see if it works.
If nautilus works, does this mean evolution will compile?

my powerpc. It crashes a lot on the Pentium; on the powerpc, it hasn't

Does that help any?

Well, according to the documentation for the XFree 4.0 server, the
handling of things like virtual desktops is up to the individual
