[Evolution] Bug#522200: evolution: Fails to start silently

Package: evolution
Version: 2.24.5-2
Severity: important

Hi,

evolution was unable to retrieve the emai, as it sometimes does. I hence used
evolution --force-shutdown and tried to launch it again with no success.

When calling evolution, nothing happens. I get no error message, just nothing.

I have to use ^C to stop the process. evolution-data-server-2.24 is running.

I attach a strace in case this helps.

I use severity important as I am not sure this issus hits more people. If so, 
I think the severity should be increased to grave.

Cheers,
Julien
