        Hi,
I would try to build-with/install debuginfo for evolution packages and
then run evolution like above, only under gdb, and get a backtrace where
it failed. Maybe it'll give a clue.

   $ GDK_SYNCHRONIZE=1 gdb evolution --ex r --ex "t a a bt"

Alternatively you can follow the hint of the crash, and do this:

   $ GDK_SYNCHRONIZE=1 gdb evolution --ex "b gdk_x_error" --ex r --ex "t a a bt"

but that might not work without debuginfo packages for gtk3 (gdb might
not find the gdk_x_error function).

By the way, do you compile evolution with clutter? (Clutter is basically
unsupported in evolution currently.) What is the GDK backend you use?
(It's known it crashes with wayland on start, though I do not know where
or why).
        Bye,
