Evolution is still occasionally getting stuck on shutdown, and although the evolution-shell log domain shows debug messages for activities that are preventing shutdown, they frequently look like this: (evolution:13534): evolution-shell-DEBUG: 5 active 'mail' activities: (evolution:13534): evolution-shell-DEBUG: * (no description) (evolution:13534): evolution-shell-DEBUG: * (no description) (evolution:13534): evolution-shell-DEBUG: * (no description) (evolution:13534): evolution-shell-DEBUG: * (no description) (evolution:13534): evolution-shell-DEBUG: * (no description) I think the lack of descriptions is from CamelOperations popping all their pushed messages, which is correct behavior but doesn't help us debug the problem. e_activity_get_last_known_text() returns the most recent _non-empty_ text value set on the EActivity. So our debug message can fall back to that if the EActivity has no description at shutdown: (evolution:13534): evolution-shell-DEBUG: * (was "blah, blah, blah")
