The problem seems to be resolved in Oneiric, at least I wasn't able to
reproduce it so far.

Title:
  evolution hangs desktop when previewing/opening some contacts

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  Initially this was filed as bug #706941, where clicking on a contact
  after search would hang evolution until Unity crashed. Unity is now
  fixed, but evolution still has the problem of hanging the desktop
  until it is forcibly killed.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. open evolution
  2. Import the attached vcf contact (File/Import, import single file)
  3. double click (to open) on 'Contact, Test' (sometimes a single click for preview is enough)
  4. evolution hangs, making desktop unusable

  This test contact was created by exporting my addressbook as vcf,
  finding an affected contact that triggers this bug, then changing the
  information in the contact to test values. This contact would would
  open/preview fine in previous releases. Some contacts are ok, and some
  are not.

  This was tested with evolution 2.32.2-0ubuntu2 on Natty Unity/compiz
  on bare-metal and Classic Desktop/metacity in a VM and confirmed to be
  broken in both cases. Tested evolution 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.3 in Maverick
  VM (metacity) and it works fine.
