It happens the same to me. Basically, the UI *seems* to be usable, but when you click nothing happens (at most you have another tab doing something that will never finish at the bottom). When you try to exit, the UI grays out, and then nothing works.
I have not tried to let evolution in that state all night, for example. Maybe is just something interlocking so that it's extremely slow... Seems a lock problem. I have sometime a strange similar thing; one tab seems to stay forever saying "pinging server at (whatever)" and all is blocked. Fortunately that kind of thing *do* timeout after 10-20 seconds, and evolution resumes happily with just an error.
