Well interestingly enough when I ran into the panel applets crashing
with similar errors I thought hrrrm maybe it's not a evo thing. I tried
doing an oaf-slay, but nothing happened. Normally that will kill
nautilis, the panel, evolution and many other things, followed by
restarting the destkop components. But this time Nothing. :(
