Open a terminal window and find the process ids for your defunct evolution
process. You use the command ps to do this. Probaby you want to type ps -u $yourusername
which will list all the processes for your login.

Then simply issue the kill command for each evolution process id. If a gentle kill $pid does
not work, then do a kill -9 $pid.

See the man pages of ps and kill for details.

(type man ps or man kill from the command shell)
