Hi, 
Looks like the common things with all the programs you mentioned that failed 
to load is GNOME program. Are you running under GNOME or KDE, by the way?

Also, when that program fail to load, or hang, could you take a look at the 
log files (/var/log/messages, /var/log/secure, /var/log/XFree86.0.log) ?
Just a shot in the dark. So try like this, for example:

Reproduce the situation in which Evolution will hang or fail to load. Then 
fire up 3 console, and run this command in each terminal (as root):
$> tail -f /var/log/messages
$> tail -f /var/log/secure
$> tail -f /var/log/XFree86.0.log

now try to open Evolution, which as you said, will hang. Do you see anything 
weird on the terminal  ?

The reason  to try this, I've had situation when GNOME program simply won't 
start (not even the X server) just because I put something in the tcp_wrapper 
that block it accidentally (something to do with sgi_fam).
