Of course there is.  Read what I wrote previously.  The GNOME Desktop
itself consists of the actual gnomedesktop port, and everything that
depends on it.  Evolution does not depend on this port.  Evolution does,
however, depend on the GNOME Development Suite which is quite different
that the whole desktop.
