I suspect the source of the problem is that a change in gnome-keyring,
or something associated with it has caused a change in the user
interface: Up till now, if an attempt was made to access the Login
keyring when it was locked, a box would appear requesting the user to
enter the passphrase for the keyring.  Now (I suppose because the
keyring is supposed to be unlocked at login time) no such box appears.
So the Login keyring remains locked till it is unlocked using seahorse;
if I unlock it in seahorse, evolution sends properly.  Logging into a
Gnome session unlocks the keyring, and it remains unlocked even in a
following KDE session, but not after a reboot.

A work around is to start each KDE session by using seahorse to unlock
the Login keyring.  Which is a little tedious.  Is there some way to put
something (a script) into the autostart folder that will unlock the
Login keyring?
