Bug Description

After upgrading von 10.04 to 12.04, "evolution --force-shutdown"
always results in

"Could not find Evolution's process ID"

even it is run from the same shell that "evolution &" was started from.

This feature is rather important for automatic file system level backups of the evolution data files,
if the various components aren't shut down properly the backups thus created might not
be useable in the end.
