Bug#674668: Starting Evolution often crashes the GNOME session

Sat May 26 15:18:58 UTC 2012

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.2.2.1-4
Severity: grave
Justification: Entire session crashes; can cause serious data loss

Hi,

for about a week now, I've had sudden crashes of the GNOME session, i.e.
the X session terminates (killing all running programs in the process)
and I'm back at the login screen. These crashes have always happened
directly after starting Evolution from gnome-shell's dash.

I first suspected a video driver bug, but now I've seen seen these
crashes on two machines (both with an up-to-date 64-bit Debian testing)
with different video cards. When trying to reproduce this behavior, I
discovered that I could reliably crash the session simply by starting
and closing Evolution repeatedly (on average about 10 times).

I've attached two .xsession-errors files from such crashes (line #42
from file #2 seems to be particularly interesting). Unfortunately there
have been no messages in the dmesg output. Please tell me if you need
anything else to reproduce and/or debug this problem.

Best regards

Alexander Kurtz
