Thanks, Rob; while we're on the subject of automatic log-ins, does
anybody know a way of getting Evolution to unlock the GPG/PGP keyring
automatically when it starts up? By default you have to enter the
password manually each time you start the Evolution client (even if you
never actually use encryption). There's nothing on that here:
