[Evolution] Evolution 1.4.6 Hangs

[Patrick O'Callaghan]

I just submitted a similar report against 1.5.5 (compiled
from anon CVS). It also freezes a lot if I switch desktops
under KDE 3.2. Seems to correlate with Evo doing something
slow and network-related, like fetching mail, while not
on the current desktop. I did an "strace -p <pid>" on the
Evo shell and got

futex(0x85f7984, FUTEX_WAIT, 15, NULL <unfinished ...>

if that means anything to anybody.

Only a --force-shutdown and bonobo-slay will fix it.

Fedora RC1, KDE 3.2
