I agree that I'd really like to see what is going on, plus what has been
happening in the background. This should be done without needing
debugging variables because when I want to know why it is slow or
unresponsive, I wasn't planning on that happening. And, often when that
happens Evolution does not *want* to shut down. It can take literal
*minutes* for Evolution to decide to quit when an IMAP connection has
gone wonky.

You can always force-kill it of course but I hate doing that. After all,
if it was completely safe to force-close then why is Evolution waiting
instead of quitting? Which would be the question that the interaction
log would answer.

Plus, it is just neat to have.
