Thanks Tim.
I deleted them all as I don't use Evolution, and wasn't really
concerned about any other settings.
Now it all seems quite reasonable EXCEPT As well as Icons for
Computer, Wastebasket and colin's Home on the desktop, I have an icon
for every file and directory in my home directory (except for hidden
ones).
Is this supposed to happen? I want to turn it off if I can.
