Actually, debian woody and gnome doesn't go well along without the
proper locale definition. I don't know if that will also happen with
potato (that hasn't yet go through the locales+libc reestructuration)
Try to define:
export LC_ALL=fi_FI
in the /etc/environment file (if it does not exist, create it by root,
but make sure it is read enabled)

Exit the session, and enter again. Also make sure that you make a killev
before closing the session.

This will, hopefully, fix the problem with evolution.
