This bug seems to be related to evoltion-data-server itself, i'm going to add
some more error checking so that the capplet doesn't crash. But the problem
seems to be in EDS.

can you use the evolution addresbook?

according to EDS this is a protocol error. Are EDS and all it libraries the same
vesion?

I have commited a fix so that the capplet doesn't crash on error protocols.

from the distribution bugzilla:

"On the other hand, I also realized that if evolution-data-server is installed,
gnome-about-me no longer crashes. Maybe it is simply a matter of making
gnome-control-center dependent on evolution-data-server?"

The capplet should probably say to the user that e-d-s is not installed.

Oh, I will make the message clearer, i'll see what are the steps to change a
string after the string freeze. 

Thanks a lot, that last part was very informative.
