This is harder than it looks - I was using my Windows box to post to the 
list.  Now I'm on the FC1 laptop, and I can't really even configure 
Evolution or even Mozilla Mail because with the 640x480 resolution, I 
can't see the "save" and other buttons etc.  Sometimes I can guess/tab 
my way through, but sometimes not.

Control-alt-+ keys did nothing.  I'll try to quote my config file 
below.  Pse cut me some slack if this comes out in the wrong format or 
other bad Netiquette...

Sheesh, I guess I'll attach it...

# the X server to render fonts.
