[Evolution] Re: Evolution crash

[Richard Zach <rzach ucalgary ca>]

Hi.  Your solution is the same as I happened upon.  It seems to me that
bonob-activation-server gets confused whenever the IP address of your
machine changes.  The problems always seem to happen when my ISP changes
the address via DHCP.

When this happens upon a restart/login, I also get the message that the
Gnome settings demon could not be started.  Killing gconf  solves that,
otherwise killing bonobo does the trick in order to start evolution.
