It doesn't appear to be easily done at all - there appear to be many |
| 14 |
files that would have to be edited, all in some really messy-looking |
| 15 |
XML, with alot of values that might not be obvious. However, if you |
| 16 |
want to try and find everything that is touched by adding a new |
| 17 |
account, it appears that all the files live under |
| 18 |
~/.gconf/apps/evolution (and sub-dirs) - but there might be additional |
| 19 |
locations that I'm not aware of. Sorry. :) |

Have you tried a revdep-rebuild -p -v to see if there is a dependency |
| 30 |
issue that would be causing the evolution crash? Also, have you tried |
| 31 |
a re-emerge of evolution and evolution-data-server? Another option |
| 32 |
would be to emerge the ~x86 evolution (2.4.2.1) - it has been quite a |
| 33 |
bit more stable for me than previous versions of evolution. |
