Evolution crashing under KDE with seg fault

Dear Arch community,

I'm now with Arch and here is my problem:

I just installed Evolution and gtk3 package under KDE (both are at their latest versions). Running evolution and selecting an email inbox results in a seg fault:

...
(evolution:21594): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_height: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed
(evolution:21594): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_pixels: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed
(evolution:21594): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_rowstride: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed
(evolution:21594): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_n_channels: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

using gdb i got this stacktrace:

#0  0x00007ffff3515fa0 in gdk_cairo_surface_create_from_pixbuf () from /usr/lib/libgdk-3.so.0
#1  0x00007ffff35160c3 in gdk_cairo_set_source_pixbuf () from /usr/lib/libgdk-3.so.0

#6  0x00007ffff30a0cf9 in ?? () from /usr/lib/evolution/3.10/libgnomecanvas.so
...

I tried with with a fresh user profile and same result.
My question is how to deal with problem? Evolution is the only client to deal with Outlook Servers properly, so I depend on it. So I can't wait for the developers to fix this bug. Googling for it returned nothing, so it seems I'm the only one having this problem. Do you have any ideas how to deal with this?

Thanks, Thorsten
