Description davedave.skinner 2013-05-02 03:26:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
Using "yum", I loaded Evolution.
Then, I removed theprevious "evolution" directories from ~/.cache/, ~/.config/, and ~/.local/.  I did this to start the use of Evolution from scratch.
Then, I fired up Evolution from the GUI, and told it to IMAP my gmail.com account in its entirety.  I did this to backup my gmail.com account.
I hit the send/receive button, and Evolution appeared to be starting to download my gmail.com account.  So, I went to bed.
When I awoke, this appeared to be still going on 10 hours later, and there were all sorts of error writing journal messages in all of my text windows.  When I tried to deal with Evolution, it crashed.
I still could not "cat" a text file.  So, I attempted to reboot the system.  This went well until I tried to log in, but then I got some error message saying something could not be logged.  This happened repeatedly when I tried to log in.  So, I powered down the machine, and finally got total control back.

The .config dir stores all X settings. Of course it crashed... .config gets created on your first login.
Comment 12 Dan Mashal 2013-05-02 04:14:51 UTC 
Try the same thing again with MSM 1.5.2 but please logout and log back in after you delete .config

Comment 14 Dan Mashal 2013-05-02 04:33:18 UTC 
If anything you will get the same results and this is a dconf or evolution bug.

Profile Specification

dconf stores its profiles in text files. $DCONF_PROFILE can specify a relative path to the file from "/etc/dconf/profile/", or an absolute path (such as in a user's home directory). For example, the 'user' profile is stored in "/etc/dconf/profile/user". The profile name can only use alphanumeric characters or '_'.

A profile file might look like the following:

user-db:user
system-db:local
system-db:site

Each line in a profile specifies one dconf database. The first line indicates the database used to write changes, and the remaining lines indicate read-only databases. (The first line should specify a user-db, so that users can actually make configuration changes.)

A "user-db" line specifies a user database. These databases are found in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/dconf/ (typically ~/.config/dconf/). The name of the file to open in that directory is exactly as it is written in the profile. In our example, "~/.config/dconf/user" would be opened. This file is expected to be in the binary dconf (GVDB) database format. Note that XDG_CONFIG_HOME cannot be set/modified per terminal or session (E.G. export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=...), because then the writer and reader would be working on different DBs (the writer is started by DBus and cannot see that variable).
