I've never used a slckware distro, but is this the first time you are running evolution or did this just start to happen after you already had it running ok?

If it's the first time you are running it it could be because evolution can't create it's user configuration files in your home directory. Possibly do to permissions.

But, that's just a long shot.

If the problem is with permissions, runing evolution as root, shouldn't solve it?
Because I have the same problem with root, this is what apears in the console:

evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot access Bonobo/ConfigDatabase on wombat: (IDL:OAF/GeneralError:1.0)

I'm with slack 8.1 now, and I used to run evolution normaly......
HELP!

Yep that should have solved any permission problems. I'm out of idea's. We need some Linux guru's in here.

Might be a start-
1) https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/valhalla-list/2002-June/004238.html
2) http://web.mit.edu/teamhtml/Athena/plans/evolution-report.html
3) http://www.google.com/search?q=Cannot+initialize+the+Ximian+Evolution+shell%3A+Configuration+Database+not+found+&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

EDIT [quote=http://web.mit.edu/teamhtml/Athena/plans/evolution-report.html]* Sometimes it fails to start up, saying "Cannot initialize the Ximian Evolution shell: Configuration Database not found". This problem occurred more often with Evolution 0.14, and seems to be mostly specific to particular machines (I have observed the problem with Evolution 0.15, reliably on one machine and very sporadically on another). The real problem seems to be an inability to communicate with a subprocess called "wombat". I suspect a race condition, though it could also be a failure for wombat to start up on some machines.[/quote]
