Hi
After upgrading to Debian Jessie, Evolution crashed again when
running remotely with x2go nx etc.

I again followed description from turbovnc site
http://www.turbovnc.org/Documentation/Mesa 


Download the latest Mesa source (9.2.2 as of this writing) from
ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/ and untar it.
      * Build Mesa:
cd Mesa-*
autoreconf -fiv
./configure --enable-xlib-glx --disable-dri --with-gallium-drivers=swrast
make
      * Add {Mesa build directory}/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        environment variable prior to running a 3D application.


I didn't change LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment, I added file with path to
compiled lib  to /etc/ld.so.conf.d instead.

This time Evolution not crash in composition window like before.
If Evolution is using libcairo2 maybe this bug
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=721181 cause that crash
in Debian wheezy.

After I applyed mesa lib, I got Evolution working remotely by x2go very stable
and robust.
