Or to issue (from a terminal in the X session):

evolution --force-shutdown

Or to simply (not really that different) kill the offending process.

The weirdest of it all is that most people have this behaviour once in
a long while, and Caroline has it most of the time (and, as she told me,
while she was already connected to a PPP session). Hum. Network-Manager
does not really work or recognise PPP as a network connection. Hum.

It may well be that something related to network, or its absence, plays
a role here, but we have been unable to identify what/how.

All I can see from the backtraces is that E-D-S itself is looping *very*
early in the E-D-S startup... so early that I wonder if this is a Evo
issue, or Gnome.

Anyway, once you stop it, everybody (so far) reports it can be restarted
without being hit by the loop.
