[Evolution] Can evolution/exchange run without gnome keyring daemon?

[Peter N Spotts <pspotts alum mit edu>]

Folks, 

After  upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04, I've notices that to run evolution, I
first must enter a password in the gnome-keyring. I've also notices that
while evolution runs, it drive CPU use up into the 90s, where it stays
until I restart Evolution. In looking at processes, up to 50 percent of
that 90 is taken up with the keyring daemon. Is it absolutely necessary
to run that? 

With best regards,

Pete
