Thanks for your report!

This sounds like a high priority bug! Could you run evolution from
command line with this command: G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals evolution

The application will then crash instead of write out error message. If
you could install debugging symbols and paste the stacktrace, we could
narrow it in.

It would also be useful if you could give some details about your X
Windows setup.. X.org version, window manager and so on..

Cheers,
Øystein
