I am also wondering if this has to do with the way evolution starts. My
KDE has evolution mail starting automatically, and with wifi the
connection is not always started beforehand or is in the process of
starting when evolution sometimes starts. From time to time, evolution
will start with the little offline button in the bottom left as showing
offline, even though I have internet connectivity. Pressing the button
in these cases does nothing, and sometimes also that means that the
keyring has not been opened. Since I noticed that you have to unlock the
keyring, I have had one or two instances where the keyring 'Default'
(where evo stores its pws), and 'Login' refuse to open. Despite after
several instances of reboot, kill task, etc, the improper start of
evolution seems to have corrupted the keyring, and I have to either
delete the keys or reset the keyring by deleting the keyring files. For
devs that think that this is purely a keyring issue, I'd challenge you
to investigate the case of improper startup, however, I am not sure if
the move to systemd will change the startup bugs, but then again I
cannot test it on this machine because the AMDGPU drivers won't work
with my APU and FGLRX drivers are no longer supported on newer releases
(Past 15.04), plus 15.10 is no longer supported :(
