e-calendar-factory crashed accepting ICS invite

[iMac]

The crash accepting invites occurs frequently, but not always.
Re-accepting invites that have previously been accepted in evolution (and then retained) can be used to generate the bug on subsequent evolution loads.

The root cause appears to be how threads to Gconf are initiated, which will eventually be resolved with a move to Gsettings in the future (3.6) per the upstream developer comments.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659756#c32

For now, the upstream patch resolves the issue by using dbus-glib instead.

I re-posted this because the original bug seems to have been moved to fix-released based on the recent upstream activities (RESOLVED, FIXED) which I am not sure is correct.
