overriden configuration after disk check

[Albert Vilella]

Binary package hint: evolution

My Ubuntu 8.10 did an automated disk check on boot and now some of the configuration options in Evolution have been overriden: the sound I use to signify new email is also used when I navigate through the menus, just before any menu window appear, or if I do a Search: in the search box...

What are the relevant config files and how should they look like?

Now I got this error from Evolution when trying to close it:

GConf error: Bad key or directory name: "�O

thanks for the report, wow how did you broken that? best way is to backup your evolution folder/emails and start again, are you sure fsck did that? it should repair the problems on the disc not cause more.

the issue seems rather an local corruption one and user questions than a bug
