On what OS?  I see this occasionally on Fedora Core 5.
I thought it was related to the mail-notification program - although
that belief is based on not seeing the behaviour prior to installing
mail-notification (which was relatively shortly after going to FC5).

I only ever see it if I allow more than a few minutes to elapse between
logging in and starting evolution - never have seen it if I start
evolution immediately after login.

mail-notification does start on login.

Normally killing mail-notification and doing "evolution
--force-shutdown" works for me.  However I have also seen a setup where
I could not access calendar items, contacts etc until I had logged out
and logged back in after seeing this problem.

I have a bug against mail-notification for this...
