This doesn't happen here at all. Is it a specific cursor? Does it happen with the latest version of evolution available?

[Comment 2 Dice Random 2006-01-07 11:38:56 UTC]

Yup, I'm still seeing it with mail-client/evolution-2.4.2.1 and gnome-base/control-center-2.12.2-r1

[Comment 3 Dice Random 2006-01-07 14:04:41 UTC]

BTW, it doesn't seem to matter which cursors I switch to or from (although I only have three sets, including the default, installed).  I'm creating an attachment of the debugging info provided in Bug Buddy, but most of my system is compiled -debug so I don't know how useful it is.  I did re-compile evolution and evolution-data-server with USE=debug though.

please upgrade to evolution-2.6 ( just marked stable with GNOME 2.14 ) and re-open the bug if you can still reproduce it.
