Dunno about the evolution problem but the MdkOnline issue is due to it not
checking to see if the notification daemon supports the actions system. It is
the caller's responsibility to determine if the notification system in use can
support actions which is an optional part of the spec.

In their infinite wisdom, Canonical decided not to implement actions in
notify-osd, something which I completely disagree with
(http://colin.guthr.ie/2009/02/desktop-notifications-and-user-interaction/) but
such is the way of things.

I suspect that the evolution support does detect this lack of actions support
and wants to use a different, but similar system called "indicator-applet" or
"indicator-messages". I've not fully imported these I don't think, but you can
find more info on the Ubuntu wiki.

Overall, Ubuntu is carrying a large number of patches for various applications
because of this invasive. Most of the time they can be pushed upstream but I've
not been tracking how that has progressed of late.

So it doesn't work out of the box and is experimental WIP ?
