Hello, After going through the archives and not finding a solution for my problem, I have joined this list.
I ran Evolution 1.4.4. on Mandrake 9.1., with IceWM as window manager. After running Thunderbird for e-mail for a few months (for testing) I came back to Evolution. No apparent problems at first. What goes wrong: Whenever I want to create or modify a signature, the signature editting window comes up and Evolution crashes. Luckily the architecture is well done, I have not lost any mail or so. But I cannot fix the problem alone. I looked in the archives and found a similar problem in July 2003, but this person was running a Cooker version of Mandrake. His solution was to install a special version of the Galaxy theme. I doubt that this would help me, since I don't use Gnome or KDE (but I may be wrong). What I have tried so far: - Tried to use gconftool to determine something about the signatures. But as I don't understand the exact function/benefit of gconftool, this ended nowhere. - Through Evolution I deleted all existing signature information and removed all files from ~/evolution/signatures. That worked well. But adding a new signature only results in another crash of Evo. - I backup up my entire Evolution folder and renamed that to ~/evold. Backup up the entire ~/.gconf/apps/evolution folder and renamed that to ~/.gconf/apps/evold. Then I restarted Evolution to see what happened. Okay, all mail looked gone as I expected. Strangely though, all the existing e-mail accounts still were there. Trying to create a new signature ended in a crash again. So I logged out, logged back in, renamed all directories back. Then I downloaded Ximian's Red Carpet and let that check if there was an update for Evo. But that said things were all up to date. I then created a dummy user, logged in as that, ran Evo. And of course, no problem in creating a signature there. And that is where I am now. Still unable to create or modify signatures under my own account. Any help or pointers would be appreciated!
