From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061712 Fedora/3.0-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0 Description of problem: Since I upgraded to F9 evolution has been hanging once or twice a week. When this occurs the window does not repaint and ignores any mouse/keyboard input. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.22.2-2.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure evo to fetch mail from multiple pop3 servers (of varying reliability) 2. Leave evo running 24/7 fetching mail every 15 minutes. Actual Results: Every few days evolution will lockup Expected Results: Additional info: It looks like it the problem may be a bad interaction with gnome-keyring-daemon. I'll attach some backtraces which appear to show that evo was stuck fetching data from the keyring unix socket. I should mention that I'm a KDE4 user. I don't normally run the gnome-settings-daemon, might this help things? I didn't get much else out of GDB so I decided to detach and kill the gnome-keyring-daemon. Evolution came back to life and prompted me to confirm the password for one of the pop3 servers. The keyring daemon even got respawned and was prompting me to allow access by evolution. This failure path of getting an error from the server even with the correct password seems to occur every few days, It has been happening for the past few years that I've been using Evo, I've always assumed that it was probably due to a transient issue on the server.
Created attachment 310192 [details] gdb backtrace for evolution show it waiting for the reply from gnome-settings-daemon I suppose this could be a gnome-keyring-daemon issue but I'm sure you can re-assign if you think this is the case. There were no pop-up on the screen asking for me to enter any details at the time of the hang. I made sure to minimised all the open windows just in case a window was hiding behind something.
This same issue has been reported upstream, so I'm closing this with a reference to the upstream bug where you can monitor the investigation. Please see [1] for further updates. [1] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=539210
