GTK+2.6.1 has a flaw which causes applications that are displayed have an infinite loop without a reponse handler. This causes a hang. Currently, Evolution 2.0.3 has an outstanding bug caused by this. The attached patch fixes this issue.
Created attachment 50082 [details, diff] gtk+-2.6.1-gtk_dialog.patch
where does the patch come from ? upstream bug(s) ? How to reproduce it ?
*SIGH* I swear I wrote it in :-(. The patch is pulled from GTK+ CVS Head. Sorry about that.
i guessed as much, but that requires me to do the work and find out. I don't apply patches on a guess basis. We need to see where it comes from and you really gave & give no clue so far. You obviously know about an issue that we are not aware of, then i guess you know where to find the appropriate upstream tracker as well.

Added gtk+-2.6.1-r2 to cvs after more reports of this issue causing problems for people. Thanks for tracking the patch.
