Hi!

I don=E2=80=99t know much about GNOME plumbing, but I=E2=80=99m guessing th=
at
evolution-data-server can be started on demand via D-Bus, no?

If that is the case, dbus-daemon needs to have the description file of
evolution-data-server so that it can actually start it on the user=E2=80=99s
behalf.

In GuixSD, this is handled by having the server (evolution-data-server
here) extend =E2=80=98dbus-root-service-type=E2=80=99; see =E2=80=98geoclue=
-service-type=E2=80=99 for an
example.

I hope this helps; if not, I hope someone more knowledgeable can chime
in.  :-)
