Description of Problem:
When Evolution is run and quits, it lefts evolution-wombat and
evolution-alarm-notify processes running. When I exit Gnome,
evolution-wombat is still running, which causes bonobo-activation-server to
still run, which in turn prevents the configuration daemon from starting
next time I log in. Killing evolution-wombat manually helps
(bonobo-activation-server then exits itself). strace shows that
evolution-wombat does a poll() which never ends. Perhaps it shouldn't stay
alive at all? Or at least it should exit when I log out.

I'm using Gnome-2.4 with GConf-2.4.0.1 and GDM. The gconfd-2 process stays
running after I log out but it doesn't cause trouble if Evolution was not
run or if I kill evolution-wombat manually.

(As a separate issue, sometimes Evolution crashes at start and starting it
again hangs until I kill evolution-wombat manually. I'm not filing a bug
report about this because it's not repeatable. Anyway, there are other
cases when evolution-wombat gets stuck.)

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Run Evolution and exit.
2. Log out from Gnome.
3. Log in again.

Actual Results:
The error message says that the configuration daemon could not be started
(and font sizes etc. are back the default).

Expected Results:
The session starts as usual, with no leftovers from the previous session.

How often does this happen? 
Always.
