Hi, Not sure this is the right list for this. The usability issue from my point of view is whether the documentation tells me *anywhere* how to try and fix this problem and what is safe, if anything, to delete from the .gconf directory in a user's account.
For the last few weeks my dad's machine has been having trouble with Evolution. He starts Evolution and it immediately crashes running Bug Buddy. Nothing in the Bug Buddy report is of any value as nothing is compiled for debug. Here's what the crash looks like from a terminal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ evolution CalDAV Eplugin starting up ... ** (evolution-2.8:12600): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution %s ** (evolution-2.8:12600): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution inside eab_vcard_control_new (evolution-2.8:12600): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_new: assertion `width > 0' failed (evolution-2.8:12600): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_pixels: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed (evolution-2.8:12600): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_rowstride: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed ** (bug-buddy:12632): WARNING **: Failed to connect to the FAM server: (null) ** (bug-buddy:12632): WARNING **: Couldn't load icon for Bonobo Component Browser ** (bug-buddy:12632): WARNING **: Couldn't load icon for Open Folder Failed to read a valid object file image from memory. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ Now, if I run Evolution from my account it works fine, and additionally it only prints the first 3 lines above, so I assume this may be a problem with something in .gconf not being correct and showing up with a crash inside the subroutine eab_vcard_control_new. Anyone have a feeling for the validity of that idea? I did some Googling and found folks with other similar problems, mostly with the panel, etc., who managed to fix their problems by deleting directories down inside of .gconf. I'd like to try this on my dad's machine but I cannot find any info on whether it's safe to do. Is it? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. If there is a better list for this problem, and I'm sure there is, please advise and I'll go there.
