Ah! At least someone in the same boat I guess.. My Evolution broke as well.
I noticed gdialog segfaulted after the glibc upgrade, but recompiling the
gnome-utils package of which gdialog is part of, fixed it. Did you get

or is it something different? I am wondering why this broke, is it a
broken glibc package or my own fault, and how to fix it the right way?
