Got it working again by doing the following (I have backup data going back a few weeks for home directory):
1. Delete all under '~/.gconf/apps/evolution' 2. Reinstall evolution (that brought in one config key - %gconf.xml) 3. Start evolution and first run wizard ran - cancelled. 4. Restored '~/.gconf/apps/evolution' from backup 5. Start and completed first run wizard. 6. Evolution started with all messages, contacts, etc. 7. Ran evolution backup. I guess this was just a local gconf corner case. OK to close. _______________________________________________ Pkg-evolution-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-evolution-maintainers
