[clug] Evolution snafu in FC3

[Jade Barton]

Evolution does leave a stuff running in the background when you think
you've closed it.  Don't know why, even Outlook (it's idol) doesn't do
it as bad.  I suppose there's a reason.  The following command has
worked for me on a couple of occasions.  Good luck.

/usr/libexec/evolution/2.0/killev
path may vary without notice
"find / -name killev"   if you get stuck
