possible fix [was Re: [Evolution] Wah! 200107060152 snapshot segfaults on startup.]

[Luis Villa <louie ximian com>]

This is a very, very known bug. Check out bugzilla bug 4139 to see both
(1) progress on fixing and (2) exactly how many times this showed up in
my inbox this morning (not to mention having it happen on my own laptop
last night.) Sorry... as soon as Ettore wakes up (or gets back from
lunch, or whatever he is doing) we'll be on it. 

In the meantime, it has been suggested that re-installing libbonobo-conf
can help the problem- I'd be interested in hearing if it does.
