[Evolution] evolution crashes when using X11 forwarding

[Hans-Georg Beyer <Hans-Georg Beyer fhv at>]

Hi,

other gnome apps do work via X11 forwarding (e.g., gedit).

When starting evolution remotely via X11 forwarding 
I obtain the following messages (note, some years ago,
I used evolution remotely without any problems):

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

hgb@HGB-PC2:~$ evolution
Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0".
Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0".
Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0".
Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0".
libEGL warning: DRI3: failed to query the version
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate

(evolution:26725): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'evolution' received an X
Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 189 error_code 1 request_code 154 (unknown)
minor_code 1)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
function.)
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

If this problem cannot be solved easily, I would be even satisfied, 
if evolution would fetch my emails without GUI (however, this must 
be done remotely on the remote Linux machine).
To this end, I tried on the remote machine:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

hgb@HGB-PC2:~$ xvfb-run evolution

(evolution:26703): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strsplit: assertion 'string !=
NULL' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Any help would be appreciated.

Best,

Hans-Georg
