bug#39584: evolution: involid page id error when composing emails

Looking at that patch code, I'm trying an experiment where I set the
environment variable mentioned:
christopher@eowyn ~$ WEBKIT_USE_SINGLE_WEB_PROCESS="0" evolution 
This should give the same effect as the code would, unless I'm setting
the variable the wrong way. I haven't had the problem again yet, but
I've only tried it for about 20 minutes.
I'm curious also if that code would work, since it makes the assumption
the program name is "evolution", whereas ".evolution-real" is the name
of the process in Guix as listed by "ps -e".

I'm eager to give the patch a try. I've never learned yet how to add
add a source patch to a package definition, so it might take me some
time to get to it if I had no help. Is there an ETA on Gnome 3.34?

Searching the web for the error message leads to these bug reports:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1757243
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/587

Apparently Evolution does not work properly with WebKitGTK
2.26.Backporting all the upstream changes looks cumbersome, but I
suppose wecould do something like this until we have GNOME 3.34:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/webkit2gtk3/blob/f30/f/webkit-process.patch

Thoughts?  Are you able to give it a try?
Thanks,Marius
