Evolution, xfce and openSUSE 13.1 64-bit

I recently upgraded from 12.3 to 13.1 via zypper dup. When I start Evolution from a keyboard shortcut or from a panel launcher it hangs on trying to download emails from the server. If I start it from a command line I do not have this problem, although it seems to be unstable and sometimes crashes when I change folder. Has anyone else seen this or can tell me where to start looking for clues as to why this is happening?

Thanks
Nick

I’ve now solved the major problem by doing a clean install. However, this has created a few minor problems, like having to re-do all my tweaks and not being able to install gksu (which seems to have died). Anyone know of a way to carry out specific operations as root without having to enter a password each time?

Thanks, Nick
