-<!-- Put this in a note somewhere
- <para>
- Menus in <application>Evolution</application> are
- context-sensitive, which means that they vary depending on what
- you're doing. If you're reading your mail, you'll have
- mail-related menus; for your calendar, you'll have
- calendar-related menu items. Some menus, of course, like
- <guimenu>Help</guimenu> and <guimenu>File</guimenu> don't much, if
- at all, because they have more universal functions. But you'd
- never mark an address card as "read," or set the recurrence for an
- email message you've recieved. depending on whether you're looking
- at mail, contacts, or calendar information.

+ If you have set custom keyboard shortcuts for your desktop, (you can
+ do this the control center: select
+ <menuchoice><guimenu>System</guimenu><guimenuitem>Settings</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
+ from your menu panel), they may interfere with Evolution keyboard
+ shortcuts.

+<para>
+ For example, if you have chosen Emacs-style key bindings for your
+ desktop-wide text editor, the shortcut
+ <keycombo action="simul">
+ <keycap>Ctrl</keycap>
+ <keycap>W</keycap>
+ </keycombo>
+ will act as "Cut region" rather than as "Close Window" in the
