That's just a warning, I don't think it will be related to this
problem.

In this message:

The instructions are at the bottom. It says

 $ export GDK_SYNCHRONIZE=1
 $ gdb evolution --ex "b gdk_x_error" --ex r --ex "bt" --ex "t a a bt" --ex q

gdb may need to be installed, but it's the standard Gnu debugger. For
there to be useful variable and procedure names in the output (rather
than just memory locations) you need to have the symbol packages
installed (and I think Ralf pointed you in the right direction for that
on Ubuntu).

But it's a moot point - you have already found out what the issue is
