Almost all of the icons in Evolution -- all, I think except the red

problem can be cured by reinstalling evolution: i.e.
rpm --install --force evolution-2.12.1-3.fc8.x86_64.rpm
which cure lasts till the system is rebooted. It may (or may not be)
important that I'm running selinux.

Any ideas?

Are you using the GNOME desktop, or KDE? When I was using KDE, I had
various random applications lose their icons after they got updated,
most notably firefox, thunderbird. It stayed over reboots also, and to
get the icon images back, I had to remove the icons from the launcher
area and re-add them again. They sometimes would disappear again when
rebooting also.

I haven't encountered that in GNOME yet though.

Pardon, what is the "launcher area"?

I've had a number of problems with F8, on which I run KDE:

o Xscreensaver only blacks out a part of the screen. The xscreensaver
documentation says that this is probably because the X-Window System is
reporting the screen size wrong, at least to the call that xscreensaver
uses.

o The font size in the Evolution message info window is always very
small, probably 9 point. gnome-appearance-properties, which purports to
control such things has no effect, though it does control the Evolution
Composer and MailReader windows.

o There are moderately frequent flashes (I don't know how else to
describe them) towards the upper left corner of the screen.

o The Mem pane of the System Guard *Applet* (not the full application)
reports errors on all of its sensors.

o There have been a large number of Selinux problems (33 at last
report), which went away (i.e. no *more* were reported) after I followed
the advice in the Selinux Troubleshoot to "touch /.autorelabel; reboot",
after which no new Selinux errors have been reported, but also the
Evolution icon problems started.

I tried switching to Kubuntu, but it's even worse. Evolution is
unusable because the data server kept crashing as soon as I opened the
Contacts pane.
