no, it means there is no session manager running. This could happen on a
minimal X11 setup. It's not a problem really, if there is no session
manager, it can't connect to it, and then it won't get any session
oriented event, such as "save_yourself", "die".

Or maybe it means you are running evolution with a user other than the
one running the session manager.

But evolution can run without the session manager fine.
