Description of problem:

Just installed evolution.
Attempting to invoke evolution gives an error message.
1) Invoking from the menu :
1a)  initially a message saying evolution 3.13.90 is a development version, recommending trying stable version 3.12

1b) after pressing the button valider (validate in english?) :
...
Impossible de démarrer Evolution. Il se peut qu'une autre session d'Evolution soit en cours et ne répond plus. Erreur système : Impossible de se connecter : Ressource temporairement non disponible
...

2) Invoking from the console :
2a) The same initial message as (1a) in popup window,
displaying in the console :
...
 CRITICAL **: categories_icon_theme_hack: assertion 'filename != NULL && *filename != '\0'' failed
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
...

2b) The same message as (1b) in popup window.
displaying in the console :
...
 dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: Impossible de se connecter : Ressource temporairement non disponible
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
...
Returns to prompt when press "valider" (validate in english?) in popup window.

I tried using all the -c options in console, with exactly the same results.

Note that using the french version of evolution, as well as the mate desktop.
The gnome desktop is not installed, so maybe it is missing dependencies ?
However dconf is installed.

Sorry, it was just a glitch.

Just after filing the bug, my computer started to show other problems, while shutting it down.
After rebooting, evolution works well.
First time I've seen evolution.  Nice interface.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID
