[Evolution] Bug#407925: evolution: when out of disk space,
create dialog storm which freezes the box

Package: evolution
Version: 2.6.3-3
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss
While i was compiling stuff, i got a call and was updating an apointment i had
in the evolution calendar.
The compilation caused my /home to be full, and as thus, evolution was unable
to update the apointment.
But instead of opening a dialog informing me about the issue, and let me free
some space, it created a dialog storm, which left the box fully frozen (it was
a 1Ghz powerbook, with 512MB of ram), leaving me unable to move away from
evolution, unable to switch to a VT console, unable to even kill X with the
ctr-alt-del combo (well, maybe due to apple thinking there is no need for both
backspace and del, not sure), leaving me no choice but to reboot the machine.
This caused the loss of all the not-yet-saved data, thus the severity.
