Sorry, yes, I should have specifically said there was nothing private
in my previous mails regarding this bug.

OK, I think we can consider this to be the same bug as #981420, for which
I'm going to upload an upstream version of the same change that went
into those test binaries.

That doesn't *necessarily* mean anything: unfortunately, warnings and
error messages from D-Bus-activated per-user services on non-systemd
systems generally end up sent to /dev/null. systemd's Journal API can
fix this, but only for systemd systems.

That might be a bug in evolution-data-server's packaging, if it would
work equally well with any o.fd.Secrets implementation - but maybe it
needs something that is specific to gnome-keyring.

(On the other hand, I'm fairly sure Evolution is designed to be used in
a GNOME environment, so this is quite a mixed setup anyway.)
