How to reproduce

1. Evolution was ran with G_DEBUG=resident-modules,gc-friendly
G_SLICE=always-malloc,debug-blocks under ElectricFence  
2. Without ElectricFence, evolution didn't abort.

Comment 2 Milan Crha 2010-12-10 13:54:05 UTC 
Thanks for a bug report. The error means that Evolution failed to find a GConf scheme for "/apps/evolution/shell/file_chooser_folder" which is mandatory in 2.32.x. I see this GConf scheme in evolution source code, and it would exhibit this when run without ElectricFence too, thus I believe this is a bug of ElectricFence, preventing Evolution from reading its GConf schema definitions (or those are not installed in ElectricFence). In other words, this is not a bug in Evolution itself.
Comment 3 Yann Droneaud 2010-12-10 14:47:36 UTC 
Yes, you're right, it's not a bug in evolution. I was searching this bug report to close it myself.

ElectricFence seems to return memory address not aligned on 16 bytes boundaries as glibc does, and this seems to mess up gconf.

I have reproduced the same problem with nautilus and gconf-editor.

I will report a bug on ElectricFence and dig in gconf to see why it rely on 16 bytes alignment.
