[Evolution] "Cannot initialize the Ximian shell" after "su"

[Gerald Champagne <gerald io com>]

I'm running Evolution 1.01 and it does not want to start if you run it
after su'ing from someone else's account.  This is very reproducible by
doing the following:

- Log in at gdm as someone else. (don't know if will do here)
- Open a terminal
- su - <your account>
- evolution&

The command line shows:

evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot access Bonobo/ConfigDatabase on
wombat: (IDL:
OAF/GeneralError:1.0)

And a dialog appears saying:

Cannot initialize the Ximian Evolution shell:  Configuration Database
not found

If I run oaf-slay and then try again it works.  I searched Bugzilla
found bug 19329, but I'm not sure if what I found is the same thing.  Is
this a known issue or should I open another bug report?  Can anyone else
duplicate this?

Thanks.

Gerald
