did you change anything in your setup? That is, are the evo components
still in a place known to Bonobo? (usually, $prefix/lib/bonobo/servers
must be added to /etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml or
to the $BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH environment variable.

You could also try to debug the call to e_cal_new to see where is it
returning the NULL value. That might give you some insight on the
problem.
