(SOLVED] After pacman update evolution fails to start

Having just updated my system today - evolution fails to start:

$ /usr/bin/evolution 

(org.gnome.Evolution:3572): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 14:51:43.791: _gtk_style_provider_private_get_settings: assertion 'GTK_IS_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIVATE (provider)' failed

(org.gnome.Evolution:3572): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 14:51:43.791: _gtk_style_provider_private_get_settings: assertion 'GTK_IS_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIVATE (provider)' failed

(org.gnome.Evolution:3572): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 14:51:43.791: _gtk_style_provider_private_get_settings: assertion 'GTK_IS_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIVATE (provider)' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

pacman updates included plasma-workspace and plasma5support and kwallet - and I run evolution from plasma desktop - until now it has run with no issues for several years.

Is anyone else seeing this happen, and if so is there a solution?

Edit: Since posting this I updated a second machine - and Evo started just fine on the second machine.  Even stranger is that on the laptop where I had this problem, a second reboot resolved the problem and Evolution now starts without any issues.  So I don't know what caused the issue - but it is resolved - so I will mark this as not an issue, and is resolved.
