Its not the computer that shut down but the gnome configuration manager that was sent the kill signal probably because X died for some reason and gdm shut it down on logout. Are you running a firewall? (very recommended if your computer is always connected, although it doesn't look like you are from the logs). I am guessing that X died for some reason and when evolution crashed it messed up its files somehow. What X version and window manager + version are you running (my X occasionally crashes down under me on vt switch but its very rare). > > Thanks. > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
