gnome-about != gnome-about-me

That's not really a backtrace :-)

I've had to uninstall evolution-data-server to reproduce it. Here's a backtrace:

about-me-properties-ERROR **: Failed to execute program
/usr/lib/evolution/e-addressbook-factory: Success
aborting...

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

The problem is here:

		if (me->book == NULL) {
			me->book = e_book_new_system_addressbook (&error);
			if (me->book == NULL || error != NULL) {
				g_error ("%s", error->message);
				g_clear_error (&error);
			}

We apparently need a dependency on evolution-data-server since me->book doesn't
seem to be optional.
