From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: Trying to close evolution causes it to become non-responsive. A pop-up prompts user to force quit because the window is not responding. Client system is severn beta up2date against RHN. IMAP server is imap-2001a-18. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-1.4.4-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open evolution against an imap server. 2. Click Send/Receive at least once. 2. Click the 'x' button at top-right of screen to close app. Actual Results: Pop-up that reports: The window "INBOX (1) - Ximian Evolution" is not responding. Forcing this application to quit will cause you to lose any unsaved changes. Must click "force quit". `ps -ef | grep evolution` then shows: paul 32392 1 0 09:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/evolution/1.4/evolution-wombat --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Wombat_InterfaceCheck --oaf-ior-fd=38 paul 32394 1 0 09:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/evolution/1.4/evolution-alarm-notify --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Calendar_AlarmNotify_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=40 These two procesesses must be killed before evolution will start again. Expected Results: App should close normally. Additional info: If I close out of evolution before clicking send/receive, then the app closes normally.
Created attachment 94285 [details] shell script to kill evolution processes Since I have this problem too (IMAP, evo won't shutdown properly), I revived an old evolution favorite: killev. Its just a little shell script, and I'm sure it could be done more eloquently, but it works for me (tm).
If you click cancel, does it eventually quit? I think there's a timing issue here where it gets carried away starting to clean up without pinging to say it's still alive.
Clicking cancel and leaving for as long as 8-9 minutes had no effect.
Can you attach to the process with gdb and see where it's spinning? evolution-debuginfo package is at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/evolution-debuginfo-1.4.4-5.i386.rpm
Installed evolution-1.4.4-6 from RHN; bug still present.
... still there with 1.4.4-7.
