Using Linux 3.2.23, GNOME 3.4 fallback, `evolution --component=mail mailto:info at example.net` hangs

[Paul Menzel]

Dear Linux folks,


using Debian Sid/unstable, clicking on a mail address in Iceweasel
(Firefox) a composer window is opened in Evolution 3.4.3-1. But then the
windows are only gray and hang and the only way to fix this is to kill
the process. I reported this issue to the GNOME Bugzilla as 685640 and
the developer Matthew Barnes pointed out the following [1].

        Radeon video driver thread looks stuck:
        
        Thread 5 (Thread 0x7f6656d4d700 (LWP 4375)):
        #0  pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 ()
            at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/pthread_cond_wait.S:162
        No locals.

        No locals.
        #2  radeon_drm_cs_emit_ioctl (param=0x7f666b635c40) at radeon_drm_cs.c:401
                cs = 0x7f666b635c40

Any hints how to fix this are much appreciated. If it is indeed a Linux
issue, I will gladly create a new ticket in the freedesktop.org
Bugzilla.


Thanks,

Paul
