Evolution is very much a Gnome application, leveraging functionality all about the breadth of that desktop environment, and if you aren't using Gnome, it calls upon much that you aren't otherwise using. But that isn't unique - if I want to run one KDE program on my Gnome desktop, many, many libraries are loaded to implement the program. -- Mark L.
