Yeah. I only use it because of Evolution, which is the mail program I
like. Unfortunately, over the versions, Evo has gone from a standalone
gtk2 app to a gnome-intertwined one. I have no choice but to selectively
compile gnome in order to use it. Like any addict, I've tried to switch
(claws-mail, in particular), but other than kmail, nothing had all the
features. Not ready to commit to another email client that is beholden to
a desktop. But Garnome allows me to just compile the subset of gnome apps
and libraries that evo absolutely requires.

Good luck.

You may also wish to look at jhbuild, but I prefer garnome. JM2C
