I upgraded to evolution 1.2.4 via emerge world -up (which also update gtkhtml, gal, soup, and gob to name a few). After the update, evolution seg faults at startup. Rolled back the update to 1.2.3 (along with the other packages mentioned above) and problem persists. Stack trace follows.

can you please paste the output of "emerge info"?

hmm .. unfortunately that backtrace is unusable because you have omit-frame-pointer in your CFLAGS and you don't have debugging compiled in. can you try re-emerging gal-0.24 ?
I remerged evolution 1.2.4, gal 0.24, gtkhtm, gob, and soup with the debugging flag enabled. Both bug-buddy and gdb report "no debugging symbols found" and the backtrace looks the same as what I already posted. Any ideas??

ahh, you need to add : DEBUGBUILD="yes" in your /etc/make.conf but does the backtrace still look the same? because the problem with the backtrace you posted was that XOpenIM, etc was not a part of /usr/lib/libgal.so as far as I can tell. so the problem must of been from somewhere else.
The backtrace was exactly the same. I am recompiling gal and evolution with DEBUGBUILD set. I will post the results when it finishes. I am pretty sure the problem is not in evolution itself, but in an underlying dependency. When I went back to evolution 1.2.3 the problem remained. However, I also down-graded gal, gtkhtml, gob, and soup to their pre-upgrade versions and the problem still remained. Maybe there was another package upgraded that I missed that is causing all the problem. In theory, rolling everything back like I did should have fixed the problem, but it obviously didn't.
Here is the new backtrace. Doesn't look much different.

This is the line, from the main function causing the crash in evolution. DDD won't step into it since I don't have all the underlying dependencies compiled with debug options. It appears this function is provided by libgnomeui. I am recomping it with debug options enabled. Will post results. gnome_init_with_popt_table ("Evolution", VERSION " [" SUB_VERSION "]", argc, argv, options, 0, &popt_context);
That didn't work. I still can't get into the gnome_init function to see what is going on. Any ideas??
well, did you upgrade your xfree recently? XOpenIM and the other X* functions in your backtrace is something in xfree.
I upgraded to X 4.3 somtime last week, but everything worked fine until I upgraded evolution.
are you using some special XIM (X Input Methods)? it seems to be something trying to access IM methods but with some errors. i'm going to forward this upstream to see if the ximian folks have any ideas.
Nothing special that I know of. I submitted this problem to ximian but haven't heard a stitch from them. Hopefully you will have better luck getting through. Thanks for the help.
liquidx, please provide the ximian bug link
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=42239
this seems like a rather old bug, and there hasn't been any response from ximian's end, it is very likely it'll never get a response. does this happen if you try 1.4.3/4 ?
will probably not get fixed, try 1.4 series.
