Yes, it is. BTW, I am able to use the emacs keybindings once the gconf 
key is set to Emacs. However, I can only use the accelerators mentioned 
in the *-emacs.xml file, like Ctrl-Shift-TAB for indent and so on. 
(Please open the *-emacs.xml file to see the available accels).

evolution uses gtkhtml for editing, which in turn provides the emacs 
keybindings for it. So, other Gnome apps are not affected. btw, in which 
other apps are you able to use the emacs keybindings.

So, these keybindings were working in evolution before the upgrade? If 
so, I am not sure how. I do not find the associated acclerators for ^A, 
^F, ^B, etc., in the *-emacs.xml file.
