        Well - in the end I did just that; and 200Mb of strace log later I got
it to misbehave; I caught everything (including gconfd-2) that was
execve'd for evolution correctly.

        Imagine my suprise then to discover that no-one unlinked anything in
/tmp/orbit, and yet - the socket node is indeed gone, and the problem
shows it's ugly head. [ and gconfd-2 still has it bound / open etc. of
course ].

        So - can anyone suggest how that file can disappear without it being
unlinked by anything forked from evolution ? perhaps I'm missing a
'delete' syscall or something ;-)

        Really perplexed here, short of stracing every process somehow I don't
know how to catch the culprit. Is there any cunning kernel debugging
that would do something useful here ? of course - not having any way to
predict when it will happen is not helpful either.

        Regards,

                Michael.
