Oystein and Heikki:

2.6.1-2 is a *little* more stable, but E-D-S keeps crashing and taking down all the backend
processes.  I reported a bugbuddy report with backtraces to the evolution developers: Bug 340778
on gnome bugzilla. (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340778)

They responded asking about versions and the bonobo activation servers.  Can you help me figure
out if there is a version problem?  I still do not understand why I get problems restarting
evolution without using bonobo-slay.  The problem seemed to start a couple months ago when I
rebuilt evolution with debugging symbols and installed my local version of evolution.

Here's the text of the evo developers response.  When I do run bonobo-slay, I can restart
evolution without it immediately crashing, but it still crashes a while later, usually when it is
sitting idle (but still checking for new mail every 10 minutes...).

I tried to start E-D-S with GROUPWISE_DEBUG=1 set.  It immediately crashed. 
Here's the stderr:

~> GROUPWISE_DEBUG=1 /usr/lib/evolution/evolution-data-server-1.6

The warnings show that the EDS libraries might not installed properly. What is
the version of EDS your using ? Try to kill the bonobo-activation server and
restart EDS.

Means that EDS is not able to start at all. Please correct the environment
variable BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH. Usually all the bonobo server files would be
present in the path <prefix>/lib/bonobo/servers/ . After setting it kill the
bonobo-activation-server and try starting EDS.
