[Please don't top-post, it makes threads harder to follow] When starting Evo for the first time in a new KDE login session, I *almost* always have to give both passwords, i.e. login and keyring. I say "almost" because in a small percentage of cases this doesn't happen and I only have to give the keyring password. I've no idea why the behaviour varies. Note that the dialogue appears as soon as I launch Evo. I don't need to click on Send/Receive. However that might be a configuration difference as I have Evo set up to sync on startup. My understanding is that under Gnome you should only ever have to give the keyring password, and if it's the same as the login pw then you won't have to give anything, i.e. it Just Works. Since I never use the Gnome desktop (especially now with the flamewars about Gnome 3), I'm just guessing about this. BTW, I see I have two /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon processes running: 1471 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login 2536 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets The first was started when I logged in. The second seems to have been run explicitly by Evo, presumably because it couldn't find the first one for some reason. That could be the reason I'm seeing what I'm seeing. Perhaps your environment is different in some way. 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
