Evolution broken when started in a KDE session
Last modified: 2007-08-14 08:48:07 UTC
The windows where my emails should be displayed as list view stays empty. The window below with the actual email is also empty. This only happens when evolution is started in KDE. When started in GNOME, the emails are shown both in the list view and the window below it.
Created attachment 98290 [details] evolution screenshot That is how evolution looks on KDE. In the meantime I also tried to start evolution in fvwm and like in GNOME it's working there too. So it seems like it is "only" an Evolution-KDE-issue.
Did anyone try to verify the bug?
I can reproduce this. It also effects every other component of evolution. Todos, Calendar, Contacts, Memos ... dani@sugga:~> rpm -qv evolution evolution-data-server evolution-2.8.1-13 evolution-data-server-1.8.1-14
Veerapuram, is anyone investigating this issue? It's definitely a bad idea to ship a broken Evolution for KDE users if want to convince them to use it :-) Thank you.
Adjusting summary.
Daniel, Andreas: Can you please run Evolution with debug output $ CAMEL_DEBUG=all evolution from a terminal and let us know whether something suspicious shows up? Also, if one could compare the GNOME relevant processes in both a GNOME and a KDE session would probably give us a hint what is going on. Thanks!

I will test it without gtk-qt engine.
I don't use evolution on openSUSE anymore, sorry. But I remember that the problem was a combination of using gtk-qt-engine together with some window decoration other than the default SuSE one. Once the problem showed up, not even reverting back to the default window decoration fixed it. HTH Andreas

I ran it today and able to reproduce it as well. Will run it without gtk-qt engine tmrw. BTW, did anyone tried Evolution+KDE+gtk-qt engine in 10.1?
Created attachment 104870 [details] CAMEL_DEBUG=all evolution cannot even close evolutuon here on KDE. Have to hit CTRL-C!
Veerapuram, we're using now qtcurve-gtk2 for 10.2.
Is this bug valid for 10.3? Akhil?
