This will "cleanly" kill Evolution and everything using Bonobo:
  /usr/libexec/evolution/1.?/killev
  /usr/bin/bonobo-slay


Also, gdmgreeter seemed to have a problem with the libbonobo update.
When I logged out of GNOME to straighten out Evolution I never got a
graphical login dialog; X restarted and came up to a blank blue screen.
gdmgreeter was using 100% CPU.  To get GDM straightened out I ran:
  sudo killall -KILL gdmgreeter
  sudo killall -KILL gdm-binary


When faced with bonobo problems I normally logout of GNOME entirely and
run the following from a TTY (_only_ as my normal user):
  kill -KILL -1
  rm -Rf /tmp/


I'm not entirely certainly how the bonobo problem could be avoided.  You
basically have to logout and then, like your bugzilla comment stated,
kill everything that uses the old version of bonobo.  Seems tricky at
best to automate the process.
