[sf-lug] my new enormous laptop

[Ken Shaffer]

Jim,
I elected to stay with evolution, exported the old and imported to the new
system.  Adding "evolution" to the title bar "envelope" menu:
...  The location was /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications, made a
file named "evolution" containing
"/usr/share/applications/evolution.desktop".  The only thing I ever noticed
missing in the 64 bit version of the 32 bit libs was for a Windows program,
Cardshop, running under Wine -- haven't bothered to fix, since I still dual
boot with a 32 bit 12.04.
