Interesting? Yes. Disclaimer: I have no idea why the following works.
I'm just reporting what I did that, in the end, seems to have fixed the
problem.

Made a backup of ~/evolution
Uninstalled evolution, evolution-devel, multisync-evolution (used YaST)
Deleted ~/evolution & emptied trash just to make sure it was gone
Rebooted computer - Seems to be necessary but I did eat some system
downtime
Reinstalled evolution, evolution-devel, multisync-evolution (used YaST)
Logged out, restarted X-server, Logged in, Tested Task entry (it worked)
Restored ~/evolution/contacts folder - Had to set permissions
Restored ~/evolution/archive - Tested Task entry (it worked)
Restored ~/evolution/Inbox - Tested Task entry (it worked)
Restored ~/evolution/Sent - Tested Task entry (it worked)
Logged out, restarted x-server, logged  in, Tested Task entry (DID NOT
WORK)
Rebooted computer - more downtime
Tested Task entry, appointment entry, e-mail functions, etc
Everything works as far as I can tell. I've even restarted X several
times and evolution just keeps on working.

I typed this in the hopes that the developers might be able to discern a
clue or two. If not, well at least I've got my evolution working again.
By the way, if anyone needs any further info, please ask.
