Its not the computer that shut down but the gnome configuration manager
that was sent the kill signal probably because X died for some reason
and gdm shut it down on logout.
Are you running a firewall? (very recommended if your computer is always
connected, although it doesn't look like you are from the logs).
I am guessing that X died for some reason and when evolution crashed it
messed up its files somehow.
What X version and window manager + version are you running (my X
occasionally crashes down under me on vt switch but its very rare).
