It seems the preferences diaglog looks for some binary files it can't find. In fact, it's because Evolution had its binary name changed to "evolution-2.0", when you symlink/rename it to evolution-1.6, the preferences dialog should pick it up.

The other problem with this is the firefox binary name: we have a script called "mozilla-firefox", which should be "firefox" instead. I have the binary called that way on my system, but the preferences panel doesn't pick it up (it does with mozilla though)

I think this bugreport should go upstream, since it's an upstream problem with control-center.
