Re: [Evolution] Evolution 0.5.1 is still profoundly unstable on my system

I don't know if this will help, but I noticed that the error says locale
not supported.
if you are using the gdm login, I believe ( haven't checked in a few
weeks ) that the default locale option does not work.  You could try
setting your locale manually and then try to run evolution.  You can do
this upon logging in by selecting Language-> whatever then have it set
that as the default, but I don't remember how to set this in a terminal
window

Just a thought, hope it helps
