        Hi,
the above error is the main problem. I found this bug report:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707884

Are you sure you are running 3.13.4? It's a development version for 
3.14, which will be released the next spring (2015). It looks odd to 
see an LTS Ubuntu with a development version of evolution, while 
Ubuntu keeps their version usually far (at least one version) behind 
the current stable. The Help->About in Evolution may tell you the 
version.
According to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659890#c45 
this might be finally fixed in 3.12.0. By the way, I never spot this 
issue under Fedora, thus it seems to me that Ubuntu uses some 
compiler/linker flags which Fedora doesn't use.
        Bye,
        Milan
