[Evolution] Bug#347672: Evolution Hangs on Startup

Hello

I am experiencing the same hangs as the first author.
Evolution hangs with the following output:
        adding hook target 'source'
        
        (evolution:4981): camel-WARNING **: camel_exception_get_id
        called with NULL parameter.
        
        (evolution:4981): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_gc_set_foreground:
        assertion `GDK_IS_GC (gc)' failed
        
Evolution hangs with 0% processor usage, and displaying only 
Search Folders -> Unmatched (I.e. the whole "On this Computer" tree is
not yet displayed.
        
This happens for a freshly booted system with a IceWM as window
manager. 
        
Killing: evolution-alarm-notify, evolution-data-server-1.4,
bonobo-activation-server and gconfd-2 lets me start evolution afterwards
(tested twice - assuming its reproducable, don't know which of those is
causing the trouble). Shutting down evolution cleanly and restarting it
works then, even though the processes listed above are running. 
Once, evolution hung when choosing to create a new message and I killed
it. Afterwards I had to kill the processes again to be able to start
evolution again.
Evolution version is 2.4.2.1-2.

Hope this gives you some clue.

Ben
