If anyone is interested in a workaround, here's something that seems to
work on my Ubuntu install.
I noticed that running /usr/lib/evolution/evolution-calendar-factory by
itself manually will cause it to perform some initializations and
terminate after a few seconds. I'm not using any calendar-related
services.
--------
Registering ECalBackendContactsEventsFactory ('contacts:VEVENT')
<<snip>>
Registering ECalBackendCalDAVTodosFactory ('caldav:VTODO')
Server is up and running...
Bus name 'org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar4' acquired.
Bye.
--------
I also noticed that if I ran /usr/lib/evolution/evolution-calendar-
factory while there is already an instance running, the new instance
will take over the 'org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar4' bus and
will cause the older one to terminate:
--------
Registering ECalBackendContactsEventsFactory ('contacts:VEVENT')
<<snip>>
Registering ECalBackendCalDAVTodosFactory ('caldav:VTODO')
Server is up and running...
Bus name 'org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar4' acquired.
<<launch another instance in another terminal>>
Bus name 'org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar4' lost.
Bye.
--------
Since I'm not using any calendar-related services, I added a startup
item via GUI that invokes /usr/lib/evolution/evolution-calendar-factory
without any options:
--------
> cat ~/.config/autostart/evolution-calendar-factory.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/lib/evolution/evolution-calendar-factory
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name=Workaround for evolution-calendar-factory
--------
This causes the original "stuck" startup process to lose its hold on
org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar4 and terminate.
This workaround is a lot less invasive than the suggestions I have seen
elsewhere to uninstall packages or remove the file's execute bit, since
org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar4 will still be available.
Again, this is a workaround. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find
out what causes the process to be stuck in the first place, or whether
or not it really needs to run all the time.
