Evolution 1.4.6 attachment error

[Damon Butler]

After some experimentation by a coworker, we've discovered that the
attachment icons for Evolution will show up ... but only if you're
running the Gnome desktop environment. In Gnome, Evololution just works.
Outside of Gnome, this does not appear to be the case. For reference, I
employ Fluxbox, and though my Gnome ports lists is complete, I can't see
my attachments.
