[Evolution] Evolution hangs if Gnome Keyring isn't open before starting



Using Evolution 3.36.5-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 20.04.3, Evolution hangs if the Gnome Keyring isn't already open when Evolution is started, at least when Evolution is configured to access more than one Google account.

Expected behavior: If Gnome Keyring isn't open when Evolution is started, a password prompt is displayed to unlock the keyring.

Actual behavior: For e-mail, folders are never loaded, each account says "Loading...," and eventually this error message appears: "Failed to connect account '[account name]'. The reported error was 'Failed to authenticate: Timeout was reached'." Calendars do not sync. Evolution hangs, and has to be force-closed or killed from the command line. In addition, this causes other applications that rely on the Gnome Keyring (e.g., Chrome) to fail to start until Ubuntu has been restarted.

Suggestions for fixing or reporting this as a bug much appreciated. Thank you.
