actually a gal bug. In gal widget color_combo.
gal dependency was just removed, it needs to be fixed in gtkhtml (gi-*.c files in editor component).

This patch has also been submitted to the list.
The patch is wrong if you take note of the files to be edited mentioned by Radek
As it is mentioned by Radek, gi-*.c files in editor component of gtkhtml provide the same functions (gal_combo_box_*) as gal did, and the result is that both libgnome-gtkhtml-editor-3.1.so and libgal-2.2.so.0 provide the same functions gal_combo_box_*. But when evolution startup, the functions gal_combo_box_* in libgal-2.2.so.0 will be used. So this patch can fix the evolution's problem, but if we want to use gtkhtml module without gal, then some additional merge is needed. Still I have a question, since this widget(gal_combo_box) is provided by gtkhtml, why does it still exist in gal? If the existing in gal is necessary, why do we have to maintain a copy of similar code in gtkhtml, just for the removing of gal dependency?
Now it is a gtkhtml's gi-color-combo bug.
