Evolution Data Server crashing problem

[Michael Wiktowy]

Greetings all,

I have somehow gotten my Gnome session confused. I don't know how it 
happened so I can't write a coherent bug report about it.
I am running FC3 and my situation is that whenever I log in to my main 
account, evolution-data-server dies. Sometimes it keeps on dying 
repeatedly when I dismiss the error dialog. Sometimes the crashing is 
triggered by accessing it via the date/time/calandar/todo-list popup or 
just opening Evolution.
The weird thing is my Evolution client and clock/calandar toolbar popup 
works ... sometimes. There is the odd time where Evolution would come up 
and none of my email folders show up. After closing it down and 
triggering the error by using the clock/calandar toolbar popup, usually 
my folders show up when I start Evo again. Also, the clock stops working 
sometimes.

I think what is happening is that my gnome session is trying to start up 
two separate instances of evo-data-server for both my clock popup and 
evolution mail client and they are clobbering one another. I have no 
idea where to find where e-d-s is spawned and respawned on crashing. I 
have not seen and bug reports and googling around didn't reveal much for 
me so I suspect that it is an isolated event due to some freak session 
saving glitch.

Could someone please give me some pointers as to where the session info 
is saved for a particular user and what mechanism is responsible to 
respawning e-d-s when it dies?
I suspect that this problem would persist through an uninstall/reinstall 
of evo + e-d-s .
Moving to a whole new login and fresh environment would likely work but 
I suspect there is an easier way to clear this up.

Thanks,
/Mike
