Ugh.  Um, yeah, I can reproduce this.  Stock RH Gnome, right?

For now, my advice is to revert to RH glib2/gtk2/pango/mozilla*/galeon.
If this requires --oldpackage and --nodeps, so be it (I normally
consider use of either of those to be Evil, but I've tested it in this
case).  If you run into problems with Evolution (I didn't, after doing
what I describe above), you might be better off downgrading to 1.4.5,
though finding packages may be a bit tricky.

I'm going to ask some people about this.  It's possible we'll end up
with a rebuilt Evolution package for 8.0.
