Fedora Users — Evolution Data Server crashing problem

Greetings all,

I have somehow gotten my Gnome session confused. I don't know how ithappened 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 mainaccount, evolution-data-server dies. Sometimes it keeps on dyingrepeatedly when I dismiss the error dialog. Sometimes the crashing istriggered by accessing it via the date/time/calandar/todo-list popup orjust opening Evolution.The weird thing is my Evolution client and clock/calandar toolbar popupworks ... sometimes. There is the odd time where Evolution would come upand none of my email folders show up. After closing it down andtriggering the error by using the clock/calandar toolbar popup, usuallymy folders show up when I start Evo again. Also, the clock stops workingsometimes.

I think what is happening is that my gnome session is trying to start uptwo separate instances of evo-data-server for both my clock popup andevolution mail client and they are clobbering one another. I have noidea where to find where e-d-s is spawned and respawned on crashing. Ihave not seen and bug reports and googling around didn't reveal much forme so I suspect that it is an isolated event due to some freak sessionsaving glitch.

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


Thanks,
/Mike
