I wasn't watching what I was responding to.  It should have been

"1. In the last two days or so, Evo has begun requesting the keyring
password every time I open Evo afresh. Here is the first message I get
when I try to open Evo these days:

"Enter password for default keyring to unlock

The application 'evolution' (/user/bin/evolution) wants access to the
default keyring. But it is locked."

OR

"(This actually applies to both Peter and the previous poster,
ïDinbandhu)

Have you opened a bug on Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/)? I
think Ubuntu is running with some additional patches regarding
gnome-keyring integration."

That was part of my point, in Fedora it seems to only be affecting some
people.  Mentioning Fedora is relevant because there seems to have been
some recent change in gnome or gnome-password or pam-password or
evolution that has brought this problem to more than one distribution.
When you go to the bug you will see that I am not the only one having
this problem.  It would be interesting to see how many Ubuntu users are
having it as well.
