Well, I got this problem solved--sort of.  oaf-slay wasn't killing oafd
properly, so I killed it by hand and restarted it.  Now the splash
window comes up, but then it just hangs.  A message is displayed about
evolution-addressbook not responding to SaveYourself, so I have been
choosing to remove it.  This doesn't seem to improve the situation,
though.  What might be causing Evolution to hang?
