 It definitely the cause for "save as" crashing Firefox, Epiphany, 
 Evolution, ...etc when the user executes a save as twice.  As far
 as evolution crashing after 2 hours, I don't think it is the cause.

 The posts below describe the XDG_DATA_DIRS env var doesn't contain
 /usr/local/share/gnome and contains /usr/local/share twice.
