Think it is some interaction between nvidia settings and gnome xserver
stuff, but it only shows up in evolution. I leave evolution open most of
the time.  The nvidia x server settings are never completely saved. When
I reboot I have to manually change the refresh rate to 85hz.  It always
defaults back to 60 and I can't get it to stay more than one session.
Now it doesn't stay even one session. After a while, not sure of the
trigger, Evolution hangs, the app window is greyed out. If I have any
message windows open their content is garbled (randomly rearranged in
large blocks) and the window is unresponsive. When I check Nvidia
settings, the refresh has been mysteriously changed to auto instead of
85hz. If I force quit Evolution and reset the refresh rate in Nvidia X
server settings to 85, I can reopen Evolution and keep working. It has
done this right in the middle of writing an email, but evolution saved
the file, so I was able to continue after a recovery. Evolution is
always in the middle of fetching mail when this happens.  And usually it
has forgotten my password and is asking for it again, although that
window doesn't always show up. I searched the logs, but can't find
anything I recognize as significant.  When closing Evolution I just get
the "unresponsive window, do you want to close it and lose all unsaved
data" dialog. It doesn't trigger apport.

 I am using ubuntu 8.10 amd64, clean install, all updates installed.
Kernel 2.6.27-11 generic on a phenom quad core. I have some of ubuntu
studio installed through apt, I installed e17 by script, but everything
else is pretty much stock. I am using gnome, not e when this happens.
