	Hi,
the gnome-keyring-daemon should not close itself when anything is
connected to it. The evolution-source-registry is a run&keep-running
process, it never stops on itself. It uses the libsecret to connect to
the gnome-keyring-daemon, the it should keep it running "ad infinity".

As long as you've the D-Bus .service file (see my previous mail), the
gnome-keyring-daemon should be auto-started as soon as any app asks for
the org.freedesktop.secrets D-Bus service. Users usually do not need to
do anything special, it just works.

There can be corner cases, like when two processes claim to implement
one D-Bus service. That can happen too (I see it most often with the
Notification interface). Then it's up to the D-Bus (or I do not know
what) to pick "the right one", whichever it thinks it is.

	Bye,
	Milan
