OK. Good to know.

Yes, I am right now deleting ~/opt and rebuilding everything from
scratch to be sure nothing is left.

It doesn't do that. I am only seeing libevolution-a11y.so.0 and
libevolution-widgets-a11y.so.0 being successfully opened. No other
libevolution*.so.* are attempted to be opened.

No ".server" files are opened. It doesn't even try. Actually, I can't
see that any open() calls fails except for some X-related theme files,
cursors and such.

But it does, funny enough (or not...), try to kill
evolution-alarm-notify from Evolution 2.2. This is naturally not
permitted as the process is owned by another user ("colding"). I am
trying to start Evolution as user "evo".

Evolution eventually gets a SIGPIPE which I think is what kills it,
although it doesn't seem related to the attempted kill on my alarm
process. But what raises the signal?

Why does it try to kill the wrong alarm process and do you think this
could be why it can't start?

Thanks a lot,
