When logged in to KDE with gtk-qt-engine installed, you can start evolution and
set the program up.  After setup, evolution will start up crash and repeatedly
will crash each time it's started.   

Evolution will run under Gnome with no problems with gtk-qt-engine installed
(since gtk-qt-engine is used in KDE). 

Revmoving gtk-qt-engine will allow evolution to run under KDE.
