Is this under KDE? The reason I ask is that I use Evolution under KDE
(on F9 for now) and always have to remember to kill the gnome-key daemon
before starting it, otherwise I'll get asked for all my account
passwords.

I wish the various desktops would get their act together on this.
There's no earthly reason for having multiple key daemons/wallets etc.
