If you are looking to debug Evolution on Fedora and report bugs, see
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces. Evolution is minimally
patched is Fedora. If you are looking to contribute to code development
running the latest version from CVS/SVN from upstream and reporting
bugs/ sending patches there would be better.
