Using Gnome 2.6 and selecting evolution from the menu gives: he Application "evolution-1.4" has quit unexpectedly.You can inform the developers of what happened to help them fix it. Or you can restart the application right now. Selecting restart does nothing, selecting inform developers opens Bug-Buddy. Executing evolution from the command line as a su gives:# evolution (evolution:4865): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

yeah.. come back when you have rebuild your system with sane cflags. checking your cflags i'd say you have basicly no clue what you are doing there, so I strongly suggest you to rebuild your system with a more basic set of flags (like the defaults), that will keep you out of trouble and us out of bugreports.
Gee I must of missed the part where anything but evolution was harmed by the "insane" Cflags. But then since I "have basicly no clue what you are doing there" I must just be missing all the other errors. Thank you ever so much for pointing out that my entire systemn must be buggered because evolution after running on the same damn flags on reiser3 doesn't start up on ext3. But thanks for the advice on what the problem may be.
Using CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" Same error as the "insane" CFLAGS. But thanks for the dose of bile.
Don't reopen until you have compile every pacakge that evolution depends on in anyway with sane cflags(as told to do) Looking at your backtrace and response, Id say fosers comments were valid ones. If you are going to provide a backtrace, make sure it contains some actual debugging information.
All 465 packages in my system were recompiled with the "safe" Cflags as mentioned previously. My apologies. I assumed the backtrace from bugbuddy was a complete backtrace. When I get a chance, I'll track down the exact procedure for using gdb and try to get better backlogs then bug-buddy-2.6.0 provides.
if you want better backtraces you need to compile the relevant packages with -g in your CFLAGS and FEATURES="nostrip" bugbuddy just uses gdb in the background anyway, so it makes no difference. it looks like something wrong with your environment? especially your ~/.Xauthority file or your xfree
Thanks for the information. I'm not sure what changed, but when I recompiled everything back to the starting CFLAGs (CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -msse -mmmx -m3dnow -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -ftracer -ffast-math -fprefetch-loop-arrays -finline-limit=600 -mfpmath=387 -pipe -freduce-all-givs" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu") It started up with the initial set-up windows. After logging out and then back in, the original set-up (and e-mai) was availiable. For the next time this happens, I'll add the -g and the Features="nostrip" to the make.conf. I'm guessing that there was something wonky in my ~/.Xauthority as you mentioned. Thanks for your patience and assistance.
