When I log in, it's already running:

% pgrep -fl key
16028 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon -d --login

I killed it and then simply started Evo (without starting the keyring
daemon explicitly) and it asked for my keyring password (which is
different from my login password), followed by the password for one of
my accounts but not the other. Now I have:

% pgrep -fl key
16498 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --foreground --components=keyring
%
