Confirmed: attaching normal jpg fotographs (testen with app 600K an 6 mb) freezes the whole system.
Using evo 2..28.0.Oubuntu4 in Karmic.

Add attachment (.jpg app. 5mb)
Under attachment bar mini picture and progressbar flickkering
Most of the times Compleet freeze: Have to push power off for a hard stop...
Sometimes very very very slow with high disactivity (bear freeze?) , with a lot of luck logout: 2 messeages that evolution is still running, logingout anyway, login in - system monitor- evolution and evolution data server still running
In other words: Impossible to add an attachment in evolution......

Follwing meesages in xsession-errors.old (due restart)
