Ubuntu – Remove Evolution integration from Gnome 3

evolutiongnomepanel

I have just installed Gnome 3 for the first time, and I quite like it.

However, there is one really annoying detail: Evolution.

It's essentially a total, buggy clusterquack.

I'd like to have it completely removed from Gnome 3.

For example, when I click on my clock in the center of the panel, 70% of space (on the right of the applet) is devoted to Evolution integration, that is the tasks and the "Open calendar" button. How do I remove that?

Also, I would like to have some kind of task manager functionality. Are there any replacements that aren't so annoying to use and actually work?

Best Answer

Evolution is (by design) tightly integrated into gnome 3 and you can not easily remove it. Some people have used thunderbird in place of evolution. Removing the evolution package is likely going to break gnome.

I suggest:

  1. File a bug report(s).
  2. Learn to overlook evolutions short comings.
  3. Or use an alternate desktop (Unity, KDE, XFCE ...)
