Re: [Evolution] Evolution 1.4.6 Hangs

Make sure its the absolute latest cvs.  Note that anoncvs hasn't been
updating for a few days and doesn't include some fixes for this exact

And we need a call backtrace, which you get from gdb, not a system call
trace, in order to debug the problem.

I doubt switching desktops has anything to do with it other than it
being a coincidence.
