I can't figure out what I did -- or how to undo it. * snip * The problem is Fedora 8. It was released (imho) prematurely. It was released before everything was working as it should - including the keyring. There are a ton of people who have experienced evolution/keyring issues - as well as other keyring issues. I'll tell you how I "undid" the situation on my laptop - I dumped Fedora 8 for CentOS 5.1 However - after doing so, evolution in Fedora 8 had altered my configs in such a way as to make evolution in CentOS crash - had to wipe my evolution preferences completely. Fortunately I use imap so that was trivial. Furthermore, rhythmbox on Fedora 8 altered my playlists such that they crashed rhythmbox in CentOS 5 and I had to delete them and start over. I really wish more open source developers would think about users who may end up needing to regress before they alter stuff that breaks earlier versions of their app. But that's a side issue.
