No, it wouldn't be would it ... But fwiw, your bug is one of 10's of hundreds, so it isn't unusual there is no response to a bug in only a week - bugs are prioritised and it takes a long time to fix even simple ones. It is physically impossible to attend to all bugs with immediacy. Anyway, there will be additional state stored in gconf, you may be able to just delete stuff there. If you remove the files themselves, make sure you run gconftool-2 --shutdown first. Note that it stores the list of all calendars/addressbooks and all mail accounts there too, so you probably don't want to just delete everything (then again mayube you do want to delete all of the calendar/addressbook stuff, if you just shutdown/mv it somewhere else, you can always restore it afterwards). eds runs as a separate executable, you should be able to just run it directly in one terminal, perhaps inside gdb if you need that level of debugging. At least if you run it in a terminal you should get more warnings about issues. I normally use ps to find which executable it's running, but it will be something like "/opt/gnome2/libexec/evolution-data-server-1.4". That's about the limit of my knowledge - I work almost exclusively on the mailer which does things differently.
