The error message is pretty harmless though.

Just means Evolution won't be able to track network connectivity through NetworkManager, likely because NM's D-Bus service is not running.  And I doubt we enable NetworkManager by default on RHEL 5 Server.

I'm not convinced there's anything to fix in Evolution.

Indeed, just doing a Google search on part of the error --  "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided" -- finds people reporting this against all kinds of components.  This seems more likely a problem with NetworkManager itself.

Closing as NOTABUG.
