Dear Maintainer,

The problem still exists here in all its glory just as it was described in 2009 now,
after sixteen years, after upgrading to Trixie, and in Seahorse (which hides its name)
version 47.0.1-2. The only difference is that this time it applies to the fingerprint
login. (I followed the advice here to right-click on my login keyring in Gnome's
“Passwords and Keys” window and changed my login password there, then finally it
synchronised.) It seems that fingerprints are not part of the login keyring. I deleted and
re-entered my fingerprints but the situation remained the same.

   * What led up to the situation?

I log in using a fingerprint in the Greeter. A dialogue window forces me to enter my login
password even though I just logged in without an error.  But even then, when I call
Evolution, I cannot access my calendars because Evolution cannot access the passwords I
entered when I created each calendar's entry in Evolution. I have to not just quit
Evolution but

evolution --force-shutdown
pkill --echo keyring

and start Evolution again, which causes a dialogue window to appear that asks me for my
login password again. Then I can finally access my calendars.
