Re: [Evolution] Evo started asking for Keyring password every time I start Evo

[timzak <tzakharov charter net>]

I also have this problem.  It started with a recent Evolution patch that
Update Manager installed around 5/30/08.  Someone on Ubuntu forums made the
observation that this seems to occur if you set your OS to auto-login.  If
you disable auto-login then Evolution does not ask for keyring password.  I
tried this and it worked for me.  So for me, I can either auto-login, then
type in keyring password the first time I load Evolution (I don't have to
type in any passwords after the first time); or I can disable auto-login and
not be prompted for keyring password when I launch Evolution.  I understand
this is a workaround, but thought I would mention it in the event it helps
you out.

Regards,
Tim
