Description André Klapper 2006-06-19 16:53:33 UTC 
compiled evo from cvs a few minutes ago.
evo *always* crashes when i start it, no matter which component.
i'm only attaching thread 1 where this happens.

seems like this happened while fixing bug #252814 and/or bug #262210, see http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/evolution/widgets/misc/e-combo-button.c - 
after downloading revision 1.22 of that file and recompiling, evolution works (okay, the "new" icon and stuff like that is missing, but at least it's a workaround for me).

Andre: Are you sure, you build shell/ also. There are some relavant changes in shell/e-user-creatable-items-handler.c.

i rm -rf'ed the entire evolution source directory, then run "jhbuild buildone -c evolution" and after finishing i started evolution.
i enabled "view>layout>show toolbar", and evo crashed with exactly the same error. any idea, which info can i provide? perhaps i should try to install to a fresh directory?
standard suse 10.1 here.

lowering priority as nobody else has seen this so far.

okay, so evolution crashes in shell/e-user-creatable-items-handler.c if the gconf key "/desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style" is not set to "both", "both-horiz", "icons" or "text", as guenther and srini found out. :-)
