Comment 2 for bug 773763

eplugins are the way used in Evolution to extend the UI, so --disable-eplugin disables all the plugins, not just evolution-rss. So, not sure the problem is really evolution-rss. So can you start evolution with --disable-eplugin so that it doesn't freeze, and then go to Edit->Plugins in the menu and disable all plugins, and then, one by one, re-enable them and restart evolution to see which one is the culprit?
