yes, that's what I meant.

Evo (and/or WebKitGTK) does very weird things on your machine.

I suppose this state can be caught. When you get it into it, get a
backtrace of the evolution process, to see what it is doing (or waiting
on), which can be seen, unless it's an asynchronous operation hidden
somewhere on the heap. The gdb command is like this:

   $ gdb --batch --ex "t a a bt" --pid=`pidof evolution` &>bt.txt

Please check the bt.txt for any private information, like passwords,
email addresses, server addresses,... I usually search for "pass" at
least (quotes for clarity only).

Similarly for the corresponding WebKitWebProcess.

I'm not sure.
