Re: [Evolution] Evolution shell (cannot initialise)

"This means that, for some reason, the shell cannot be registered on
OAF.  You should check that:

    * oafd is in your $PATH.

    * GNOME_Evolution_Shell.oafinfo and the other
      GNOME_Evolution_*.oafinfo files are readable and installed in
      $prefix/share/oaf, where $prefix is one of the prefixes listed in
      $GNOME_PATH or $OAF_INFO_PATH.  (These variables are supposed to
      contain $PATH-like colon-separated lists of paths.  If the
      installation prefix for Evolution is different from that). Run
      `oaf-slay' once before running `evolution' again if you change
      $GNOME_PATH or $OAF_INFO_PATH.

    * evolution, evolution-mail and the other evolution-* executables
      are in your $PATH (but I guess this is already the case)."

You can also try running oaf-slay, and possibly removing the files in
/tmp/orbit-* (if you have run it from other accounts).
