I've had a similar issue with an older version of evolution.  I would 
log in my work machine, read e-mail with evolution and at the end of 
the day go home without logging out.

If I connected in through the VPN and ran evolution, it would start 
another window, but on the display at work.

I think the shell script posted by someone else is a good solution.
