You are talking about evolution-data-server? Well, yes, a lot of GNOME
applications require it, but it is nothing but a... data server. It
servers as a central point for sharing PIM data around GNOME
applications, like calendars and contacts -- the calendar is shared
between the panel clock and evolution (and some other applications, like
the next Tomboy release) and contacts between the 'contact lookup
applet' and evolution. The only problem right now is that Evolution
seems to be the only application that add data on e-d-s.

Yes. But if the problem is really e-d-s, things look like you want to
use Abiword without installing GTK+.

That's like saying KDE shouldn't depend on KIO-Slaves. :)
