Description Sebastien Bacher 2005-12-02 13:22:44 UTC 
This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17531

"The main way to access a user's Contacts is currently to open Evolution by
clicking the GNOME Applications menu, then navigating to Office, then Evolution.

It would be very handy if there was also a menu item specifically for Contacts
in the Applications menu.  It would seem semi-logical to have this in the
Accessories category (which would also correspond to the Address Book item that
exists on Windows)."

hmm. gnome bug or evolution bug?

anyway, confirming.
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2006-01-07 21:08:02 UTC 
the applications ship the .desktop files, so that's an evolution change
Comment 3 Sushma Rai 2006-01-09 06:08:53 UTC 
In suse, I see thatevolution.desktop.in.in
Applications -> office -> Address Book -> Evolution Address Book

As of now, Suse is dong it.

Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 7 André Klapper 2012-06-27 12:22:50 UTC 
Not sure if this makes sense now that we have a dedicated "GNOME Contacts" application. Proposing WONTFIX.
Comment 8 Matthew Barnes 2013-08-24 15:49:27 UTC 
Agreed.  Closing.
