Description of problem: I'm some kind of newbie, but.. I've FC3 final full updated My xorg is in cinerama mode: ------ Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Multihead layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" LeftOf "Screen1" Screen 1 "Screen1" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" Option "Xinerama" "on" Option "Clone" "off" EndSection ------- my graphics cards are 1 Nvidia TNT 2 and 1 Sis 315 (ok, they are ugly, but i work mostly with text) Everything works fine. But when i'm in Evolution and try to reply an e- mail or to write a new mail, the X server goes full speed and "heats" all available CPU and the machine gets freezed for some time (neraly a minute or so). This appens the first time after a boot/reboot. After that it takes less time. Normaly a "random" (it's realy random - i've seen spamd, evolution-alarm, etc ) crash (messages log) with an info of "Nov 19 16:35:34 douro kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 3275 (evolution-alarm)" Did anyone seen this before? what can i do to help you understand what is going on? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.1 / evolution-2.0.2-3 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot/reboot 2. Open Evolution 3. Select a message and try to reply/forward Actual results: Machine freeze +/- a minute. a random process crashs Expected results: open a reply/forward message almost instantaniously Additional info:

I dont see anything in the bug that points to this being an X.org issue. You're starting up evolution, and then it seems evolution is doing something which causes it to use a lot of memory. I've seen evolution do these types of things before, to the point where I can't even use the application. Sometimes when starting it up, it opens up 200 windows all at once with alarm notifications. If you look in your kernel log, the kernel's OOM killer first kills evolution, then kills' evolution's helpers, which additionally points to this being an evolution bug causing the system to go OOM and invoke the kernel's grim reaper. I'd suggest running "strace -f evolution" to start evo, and redirect the output to a file. Reassigning to evolution component.
Does the problem only occur when you try to write a new email or a reply? Does evolution work fine for other uses (e.g. viewing emails)? What about the other components? (addressbook, calendar, tasks)?
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
