[severn] Intermittent object activation (Evolution) problems

[nosp]

Hi,

   Apologies in advance if this is the wrong list to use or an FAQ -- I
have looked through archives & google and have not found any pointers.

   I just installed severn beta from ISOs today and have been having
frequent problems when starting evolution.  What seems extremely strange
is that the problem occurs around four of every five times I run Evo.
The fifth time Evo starts fine.

   The problem is that when I run Evo I get exactly four error dialog
boxes saying "Cannot activate component
OAFID:GNOME_Evolution_Mail_ShellComponent : The error from the
activation system is: Unknown CORBA exception id:
'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0'".  The four components mentioned in
the subsequent dialogs are Mail, Calendar, Contacts, and Summary.

   Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks,
Martin
