[Bug 648618] Re: evolution (e-calendar-factory) memory leak

 

I finally updated to Ubuntu 11.10 and scrapped Evolution because of
this, and some other annoyances. Completely scrapped it. Unfortunately
that meant I had no clock on my panel, as the Evolution data server is a
dependency (hmm, poor segregation of duties there). I wanted a clock, so
I uninstalled evolution (sudo apt-get remove evolution*) and wrote my
own clock applet (first time developing an appindicator or Python). So
if anybody else suffers from this, moves to Thunderbird and Lightning
and wants to purge everything Evo, you can do so, and still know what
day of the week it is. If anybody is interested, see:
