Description James "Doc" Livingston 2006-08-11 04:24:11 UTC 
On startup Evo checks my accounts for new mail, which requires the passwords for them, which in turn requires the application to get access to my G-K keyring. This is done synchronously from the main thread, which means the UI blocks waiting for my to enter my G-K passphrase. It would be good if it didn't block the UI while doing this.


Backtrace of where the main thread is when this happens:

I dont think this is possible to fix for 2.8. Targetting for future.

Reassigning to Evolution-Data-Server, where the keyring logic dwells.

This is fixed in the account management rewrite for Evolution 3.5.3.

Keyring interaction is centralized in a new evolution-source-registry D-Bus service where there is no UI to block (and even there, keyring operations are executed asynchronously).

Closing as FIXED.
