Since it starts fine for ted, but not for fred, I would suspect
something in the configuration that fred has for evolution. Have you
tried moving the configuration file aside for fred and then starting
evolution?
Hmmm

I think that sticking with the 5.2.18-200.fc30.x86_64 kernel and waiting
for F31 is the most sensible solution at the moment.
Tying down exactly what is happening when using "su - otheruser"
has totally confused me.
