I think the issue here is that g_type_init() is not being called.
Generally for gnome programs, the first thing main() should do is call
gnome_program_init, which will call the init()s of a bunch of
libraries and make sure that everything is happy. I can get
e_source_list_new() to not complain with the following code:

#include <libgnome/gnome-program.h>
#include <libgnomeui/gnome-ui-init.h>
#include <libedataserver/e-source-list.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  GnomeProgram * app;
  app = gnome_program_init("esourcelist_test", "0.1",
                           LIBGNOMEUI_MODULE, argc, argv,
                           GNOME_PARAM_NONE);

  ESourceList *esourcelist = e_source_list_new();
  g_free(esourcelist);

  return 0;
}

Have fun,

Peter
