Is it possible to actually install X/Gnome/gaim etc without installing evolution? While Evolution is ok (barely), it really needs work when
Yes. Evolution is just a random gnome app, you can swap it for better mail handling apps like mutt or cat.
Sorry, I should have been a bit more clear in my question. The actual package name is 'evolution-data-server'. It seems to be tied into gaim, gnome-panel, nautilus, and control-center. I would assume from the name that it is something to do with evolution, but not 100% sure. Is there a reason it's tied into the above packages? What functionality does it give them?
e-d-s is a very small package not dependent on evolution despite its name (which is there for historic reasons). Its provides a database for desktop wide address book, calender etc.
