So far, when killing these processes (via 'flatpak kill
org.gnome.Evolution') and restarting Evolution, I have not had any
problems show up. I guess the question is: should I be concerned
about
this? If you think this is a Flatpak-related problem, then I'll
post on
their list.

I don't know anything about flatpak and how it's supposed to work,
but
those evolution processes are left because they are potentially used
by
other parts of the Gnome system. Whether it is appropriate, or
sensible, to leave them running in a flatpak environment is another
matter; but they are left running normally.

There's no problem killing them: evolution will just start new ones
when necessary.

A question though, if you restart flatpak evolution without killing
those processes, does it re-use those same registry/factory processes
or does it start new ones? If the latter, then they should die along
with the main evolution process, otherwise you're going to end up
with
possibly a load of useless processes.

At first glance, it looks like a new instance of Evolution is reusing
the old processes. Thanks for the info.
