Bug Description

Before evolution is launched, the gconf key /apps/evolution/addressbook/sources
does not exist.
Here's a patch which prevents segfaulting if this key is null:

   g_return_if_fail (gconf_value_get_list_type (entry->value) ==
GCONF_VALUE_STRING);

The other way to fix it might be to put the key in the evolution gconf schema.
