Public bug reported:

I use Evolution only for the address-book.  I use it to sync my Google
address book which has extensive information from my Android phone.
There was no problem on 15.04, or on 15.10 up until the beta of early
September.  My desktop PC and my laptop both operate the Evolution
addressbook online just fine.  Both are up to date.

A new installation on this computer as at the release date for Wily
shows the problem.  I have set the online account to allow Evolution to
access online data.  When I try to set Evolution up exactly as on the
two previous installations, I cannot do so without allowing it to add
the passwords to my personal keyring.  If I uncheck the 'add password to
keyring' box, Evolution cannot be set up with any account data.

I have spent a number of hours trying to find a workaround, bu so far
with no success.  I assume this is an Evolution problem, but obviously
Seahorse is invoked.
