Bug Description

I'm using awesomewm and not any of the full desktop environments. I have this same configuration on my laptop and Evolution runs without problems.

Terminal output:

> evolution

** (evolution:10624): WARNING **: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
