Adding client to server list failed: CORBA Error ... COMM_FAILURE:1.0

I'm getting this on boot on a red hat 9 box......any ideas what it may be, or how to fix it? thanks a bunch!

does it make sense to anyone? I did a google search on this error and came up with this:

When starting Evolution, I received the following errors:

Cannot activate component OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_ShellComponent :
The error from the activation system is:
Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDLmg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0'


(evolution:2213): e-utils-WARNING **: e_config_listener_set_bool: Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDLmg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0

To fix the problems, remove the /tmp/orbit-$USER directory, restart X, and run Evolution again.


I tried this however the problem still exists.....but maybe someone could point me in the right direction! thanks

I just started having the same error - out of nowhere. The only thing I did on the machine today was changed my wlan0 interface settings to connect to a new network (seemingly unrelated to evolution?)

I'm running Mandrake 10.

Googled the heck out of the error... can't find anything.

Version 1.4.6 of evolution.

Tried updating evolution to the latest release, but Mandrake 10 is unsupported still, so their installer won't work.

Help!
