KDE, Gnome 3 and Cinnamon. When I start Evolution in Gnome and click

Send/Receiving
it asks just like in Gnome. It doesn't ask me twice. The same happen
in Cinnamon. I thought that was the normal behaviour.
Then, what is the normal behaviour? No asking at all?
[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.
