As has been commented several times on this list over the years, none of KDE knows anything about the Gnome keyring. KDE has its own entirely separate keystore, the KDE Wallet. The existence of two subsystems with essentially the same functionality but which don't communicate with each other is a constant irritant. Every time I start Evo in a new login session I have to re-type my login password *and* my Gnome keyring password (it used to be just one of them, now it's both; I guess that's progress ...). There's some talk of a new KDE-side package which will address this but I don't know the details. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list gnome org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
