Last night I shutdown my workstation properly. This morning when I booted the system, evolution 2.4.0 (SuSE 10.0 x64) would display and then crash immediately. Logged out of my X session and re-logged in - same behaviour. Same behaviour manifested for a newly created userid as well, eliminating the possibility of some corrupt setting in my regular login.
Refreshed the evolution related RPMs (rpm -h -U --replacepkgs ...) still no go. Finally, rebooted the system and logged in usign my regular userid and voila evolution works! To capture some debugging info, I started evolution from the CLI. I see the same initial warning messages in both cases. Any idea/suggestion what could have gone wrong with the first boot causing the problem is welcome so that I can look for it when it happens next. Went thru /var/log/messages and found a kernel message shown below. <evolution crashes> $ evolution (evolution:8840): camel-WARNING **: camel_exception_get_id called with NULL parameter.
