Are you running in GNOME or KDE?
The failure occurs in the Gnome desktop with Severn. Have not yet tried under KDE
Hmmm, and other GNOME apps start correctly? Does anything odd show up in the terminal if you try to start evolution from there?
when started from a console prompt the same thing occurs. (See attachment). The actual error pop-up is created as four instances stacked up on each other. The console output is therefore: $ evolution (evolution:23620): evolution-shell-WARNING **: Could not start any startup wizard! (evolution:23620): evolution-shell-CRITICAL **: file e-shell-startup-wizard.c: line 781 (e_shell_startup_wizard_create): assertion `data->corba_wizard != CORBA_OBJECT_NIL' failed
Created attachment 93206 [details] error dialog Note the error dialog actually occurs *four* times, and has to be clicked that many times for the splash screen to go away.
Do you still see this with test2?
I remember having the same problem with test2, but feel like it's gone in test3. Would someone verify?
This is fixed in Fedora Core Test 3, and (of course) in Fedora Core 1. I respectfully submit that this bug be marked as closed.
