Re: [Evolution] How to change a calendar password?

[Adam Stein <adam ppdev mc xerox com>]

Didn't even notice the 'Forget Passwords' menu option.  Anyway, seahorse
was the perfect solution as I am using the Gnome keyring
(~/.gnome2_private/Evolution doesn't even exist for me).

I had toggled enabling/disabling the calendar, which did nothing as far
as requesting a new password.

I realize Fedora 13 is old, but is there any chance a newer version of
Evolution will be put into yum which fixes this bug?  Not that critical,
since I obviously have an easy way to update the password now, but I
thought I would ask.
