Description of problem: Launch evolution from command line,after finish setting up an account,get following error messages: ************************ CalDAV Eplugin starting up ...

Actual results: Dbus return an error. Expected results: No error messages should show up. Additional info:
The error message is pretty harmless though. Just means Evolution won't be able to track network connectivity through NetworkManager, likely because NM's D-Bus service is not running. And I doubt we enable NetworkManager by default on RHEL 5 Server. I'm not convinced there's anything to fix in Evolution.
(In reply to comment #1) > I'm not convinced there's anything to fix in Evolution. Indeed, just doing a Google search on part of the error -- "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided" -- finds people reporting this against all kinds of components. This seems more likely a problem with NetworkManager itself.
Closing as NOTABUG.
