Comment 2 for bug 37723

Wow Sebastien, you're fast!!!

Once you view the Evolution help content and close Evolution, Evolution
will never restart by clicking on any icon launcher until you reboot.
Before rebooting, the small circle pops up, indicating that Evolution is
starting, but then dies without displaying the Evolution window or any
errors (AMD64 3200 Venice, Asus A8N-E Nforce4, Ubuntu Dapper AMD64). The
little circular activity indicator just disappears after it runs for a
while.

Once Evolution won't restart and you try to reboot the PC, the PC hangs
for a few minutes before it will actually reboot. There is nothing
displayed about what is going on, or any problems. After a few minutes
the PC will eventually reboot.

After you reboot the PC, you can then use Evolution again until you look
at the help contents. Once viewing help contents again, Evolution will
no longer function until you reboot.

This happens every time on two PCs. One PC (second one listed below) is
a fresh Dapper FLIGHT6 install with nothing else done, this PC might be
FLIGHT5 updated by adding a few packages.

2.6.15-18-AMD64-generic kernel on this one (listed above)
2.6.15-19-AMD64-generic kernel on the other PC (AMD3200 Winchester,MSI
Neo 2 Plat Nforce3, Ubuntu Dapper AMD64)
