Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Evolution has been running fine since install, but now crashes every time at startup. The only thing done differently was to accept some updates, these are the packages that came in today:

libgtk2.0-0_2.8.18-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
libgtk2.0-bin_2.8.18-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
libgtk2.0-common_2.8.18-0ubuntu2_all.deb
gtk2-engines-pixbuf_2.8.18-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb

A collegeue suggested it was related to the theme, I reset to Ubuntu default with no difference.

Another dapper machine that hasn't had (and doesnt seem to need) these patches continues to run ok.

Strangely, it now happens to the machine that didnt have the patches, and it only happens when loading the inbox. I thought this was related to an email, and delete one by one todays mail. It turned out it was a meeting request, whic is wierd, because I've been using it to do this for some time (as an outlook client).

Forget gtk, this is down to parsing meeting requests....
