You might consider moving your ~/.evolution directory to something
like .evolution.old and see if it fires up. They probably got rid of
something ASCII in Unity, as well. No wonder all the problems. 

I really don't see the mad rush to upgrade to a very beta release,
unless you're prepared for things to break, right and left. It will only
end in tears. And us innocents, who are scarred from past experiences
with beta's, get to witness the carnage, again. 

Owell, as the old saying goes "If it breaks, you get to keep both
pieces.", when playing with a beta release. Ric
