Hi,
I cannot remember how i managed to over come this (had the same
problem), i know the program 'wombat' is/was responsable for being able
to edit contacts and stuff, its got a nasty habit of not killing itself
of correctly when u close evolution.

The one thing u can try (it may not work,so backup first) is to rename
your evo folder to say evo-original, then as root go into the /tmp
folder and delete anything relating you as a user (also check hidden
folder/files) then log back in and restart evo.

copy all your original folders and xml files back apart from (if u have
them):

addressbook-sources.xml
config (directory)
config.xmldb
evolution/local/Contacts

at least u will only lose you contacts,but as you have backed up the
original folder then can search thru it for the contacts
'evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db' or even add the files back to
regain full funtionality.

Hope this helps, it may not, if i find an easier way, i'll let u know

Mark
