evolution fails to startup - something to do with ns plugin wrapper?

evolution fails to start up every time.  if i go from the command line, this happens:

$ evolution

(evolution:15555): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkSettings:gtk-button-images is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.

(evolution:15555): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkSettings:gtk-menu-images is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: rpc_end_sync called when not in sync!

if i uninstall nspluginwrapper, i get this:

$ evolution

(evolution:15385): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkSettings:gtk-button-images is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

i can't work out what's actually failing - what plugin is it trying to load, why the segfault is occurring, anything.

i've tried updating the nspluginwrapper like this:

$ /usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/x86_64/linux/npconfig -a -v -i
Auto-install plugins from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
Looking for plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

but that's not helped at all (neither did running the same commands under /usr/lib/ for that matter - the -i command complained about wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64, as i would expect it to).

can anyone point me in the right direction to solve this?  it's been driving me nuts for a few days now!

Re: evolution fails to startup - something to do with ns plugin wrapper?

additional: yes, i've tried deleting the evolution folders out of ~/.local and ~/.config as well, but to no avail.  the only difference there is that i get the account setup screen, but once that's done it crashes out with the same error.  it seems that it's something to do with the way the application opens up, somehow.

i've also tried compiling the source version from the aur, but i'm having a raft of problems with that - missing dependencies, and one of them doesn't even seem to exist in the aur anywhere (gnome-autoar-gtk) so it'll be a while before i can work out what's going on with that one!

edit: managed to get it compiling, and installed that, but still getting a similar error:

*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** Segmentation fault (core dumped)
ERROR: rpc_end_sync called when not in sync!
