        Hi,
crashes in GSettings/DConf code sometimes mean that certain scheme is
not installed. Does evolution print anything before it aborts when you
just run it from a terminal? The same text should be shown in the gdb
console, though you didn't include it, if there was any. The simplest
is to open a terminal and run `evolution` in it. Anything printed after
the invocation of the `evolution` command might be related.

The above shows [1]:

558     else
559             g_settings_reset (priv->mail_settings, "show-headers");
560     g_strfreev (strv_value);

Thus I guess the GSetting schema is missing the show-headers key, or
it's not recompiled for some reason. You might want to ask your
distribution how the schemas are installed (maybe in a separate
package, though it would not make much sense), because I see the key
being part of the org.gnome.evolution.mail schema [2]. On the other
hand, the key itself is there for a long time, thus maybe the problem
is completely somewhere else.
        Bye,
        Milan
