Yes.  This looks like it.

Before running a gnome session, running under KDE; messages can't be sent:
        $ pgrep keyring | xargs ps
          PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
         3458 ?        SLl    0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets

After running a gnome session, but before starting evolution under KDE.
$ pgrep keyring | xargs ps
          PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
         3458 ?        SLl    0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets
        13975 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login

After running a gnome session, after starting evolution under KDE;
messages can't be sent:
$ pgrep keyring | xargs ps
          PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
         3458 ?        SLl    0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets
        16157 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets

After running another gnome session, after starting evolution under KDE;
messages can be sent.
        $ pgrep keyring | xargs ps
          PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
         3458 ?        SLl    0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets
        16157 ?        SLl    0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets
        17206 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login
        19391 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets

The system seems so be accumulating instances of the
gnome-keyring-daemon; it's only possible to send mail when we see the
"--login" argument.  I plan to investigate further, probably tonight but
right now I have to attend to some U.S. tax stuff, etc.

What a bother!  Is there anything special in your autostart folder, or
does "/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login" just start, as
it ought to?
