Hmm, it doesn't seem to help. I'm running under KDE (as is the OP), and
I have to enter my keyring password once per login session (but just
once, not for every Evo instance).

I really wish the Gnome and KDE teams would get their act together on
this stuff and agree to use just one keyring manager.
