[Evolution] non-email folders broken in debian SID beta5 package

[Joseph Levi Barnett]

In addition, after I get my black calendar/task views, if I try again to
go to the relevant component, I get the oops: crashed message, followed by
a crash of the evolution process.  ALso,  evolution-calendar is NOT a 
running process at any time during my evolution sessions.  I have nothing
but evolution, evolution-mail, and evolution-addressbook running.  
the program spits no error messages out to the commandline, as well.

I'd include backtraces, but the debian packages appear to be compiled 
without debugging symbols, so I'm not sure what good they would do.

relatedly, how does one include debugging symbols when one does a compile
of evolution.  My former CVS builds also had no debugging information 
compiled in :-(  what setting in configure or makefiles do i have to set?

THanks,
Joe
