More info - really, really want to get around this bug, as I need evolution in my company to be able to use the exchange server there. I currently use gnome3, and I actually quite like the user interface except for only a very few things that one obviously cannot change. But then gnome 3 seems to depend on mono now, and that's really yuck!
In my desperation I tried lxde and found out an interesting aspect. In lxde evolution works, unless you select the oxygen-gtk style for the user interface. Then I get the exact same lockups in evolution as described above. As in KDE the oxygen-gtk style is also used for gnome applicatons (afaik), it seems that evolution has problems with this style or that the style causes problems in evolution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007133 Title: Evolution locks up under KDE in Kubuntu 12.04 when setting an alarm on an appointment Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Steps to reproduce the bug: Fresh install of Kubuntu 12.04 with all current updates (language: german - no idea if that is important). Install package evolution. Start evolution and go through the configuration process setting up your e-mail account. Then go to the calendar and create a new appointment (right click in the calendar -> new appointment). Type in the summary, then go to options->reminder/alarm (Erinnerung). Choose e. g. 15 minutes before the beginning and click on close. After that no more inputs in the appointment dialog are possible, neither mouse nor keyboard. When you click the window-close button you get the "save changes" dialog, which again does not accept any input - you can only close it with the window close button which brings you back to the appointment dialog. No chance to get past the "save changes?" dialog and thus the appointment dialog cannot be closed in any way. Closing the evolution main window and then closing the appointment dialog works, but of course, the appointment data is lost. Command line reports the following error from evolution when clicking in the appointment dialog while it is locked up: (evolution:11015): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_device_grab_remove: assertion `GDK_IS_DEVICE (device)' failed Is was able to reproduce this bug on three different computers, 32-bit AMD desktop, 64-bit Intel desktop and a 64-bit Intel notebook. When running evolution in a gnome environment on the same computers (only tested on the 64-bit Intel desktop), the problem does not occur. So this is certainly something caused by the KDE environment. But then, the problem was not there in Kubuntu 10.04.
