Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
Ubuntu 10.04 Evolution 2.28
Whenever I try to use the calendar evolution either hangs and has to be forced to close or the whole gnome desktop hangs so that I have to ctrl--alt-f1 to open terminal from where I can restart. Not using google calendar or any other online service.
Eg To reproduce:
Click on calendar
Page up or down one or more times - hangs
Or
re-open (in calendar as when crashed)
try to copy an appointment
appointment disappears (note it was copied, not cut)
paste - hangs
There seems no consistency except that crashes/hangs always occur when using calendar - appears stable if stay in mail window. This is very frustrating as it makes evolution unusable.

comment
-----
Evloution dies with the message:
Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'evolution' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadGC (invalid GC parameter)'.
(Details: serial 1919308 error_code 13 request_code 60 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
aborting...
when run with --sync it prints out
[alx@aronia ~]$ (evolution:11072): e-data- server- DEBUG: Loading categories from "/home/ alx/.evolution/ categories. xml" server- DEBUG: Loaded 47 categories
