OK, then Gnome 3 itself doesn't look like the main issue.  However, 
AIUI, Evolution is a Gnome program, so there are bits and pieces of 
Gnome in use when you're running it, even under KDE.  Is your system 
more stable when it's not running?  (I realize that the issues with 
Exchange have nothing to do with Gnome; I'm looking at over-all system 
stability.)

Over a decade ago, I told a caller, "A large part of trouble-shooting is 
going down one blind ally after another until one of them isn't."  Right 
now, I think you need to eliminate everything "Gnomic" and see if it 
changes anything.  If nothing else, it might simplify the situation and 
make it easier to pin down the root cause of your system's instability.
