OK, after a brief discussion on the KDE list (thanks Ed) I modified /etc/systemd/logind.conf to change the KillUserProcesses entry to 'yes'. I also rebooted. Now when I log out of KDE, g-k-r is not left running and there are no abandoned sessions under my userid. Logging in starts up Evo with no password pop-up, every time. My theory is that previously there were extraneous processes sitting on the DBus entry and mixing things up in some way, possibly in a race condition. As of now, touch wood, the problem appears to be solved. Thanks to all. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
