Yes, the backends for the application *data* [1] like Contacts and
Calendar. Kill them with 'evolution --force-shutdown', if you wanna
manually mess with the mentioned data.


Note: Likely a lot of the data in ~/.gconf/ are user [2] settings, for
example Evolution stores account data and stuff like that there (since
1.3.x). Be careful, if you wanna remove all Gnome settings, you might
harm even personal settings.

Even worse: The previously mentioned ~/evolution/ directory does not
hold much of the settings these days, cause the majority of them is
stored using GConf. However, all your application *data* is stored in
there: Local mails (POP3), Contacts, Calendar, ... You likely don't
wanna remove them.

[1] as opposed to settings
[2] I don't consider those user settings "Gnome settings"
