I do not know if it is because of the above crash, but later I wished to 
contact a firm and the website apparently sent a request to the default email 
client.  No doubt when I tried-out Evolution the other day, it made itself 
default.  I must change that...
Anyway, it brought up an Evolution window for email composing.  Since that 
contained information that I needed to write the email myself at the aol site, 
I tried to cut-and-paste the address into my browser searchbar (just somewhere 
to put it - I've often found it a useful place to stuff things I will need 
sooner or later, when I don't have an editor/wordprocessor up.  But I 
digress...), but cut-and-paste did not function, so I had to write the address 
down by hand.  (Bug?  I don't know.  In my opinion, everywhere there exists 
text that is text, it should be "cut-and-paste"able.)
Anyway, Evolution put up a window saying it wanted a password to unlock some 
keyring or other.  I did not want Evolution to do anything with anything, so I 
said "Deny".  It went away, and came back.  Repeatedly.  I got rid of the 
compose window (I don't know if it was "cancel" or "close window")  The 
password window kept coming back, and I kept denying it.
Finally, I had to put up a terminal, type "htop",  and search for processes 
having to do with Evolution. I was surprised to find that there was still a 
process with details about the email-compose window.  I selected it, hit F9, 
and selected SIGKILL.  I think that did it.  So far, no more password window.  
The above terminal process was not as quick as it looks, as the password window 
kept coming back and eating keystrokes intended for htop or terminal, and 
trying to make a password from them.

If I was unlikely to use Evolution before this incident, guess what the odds 
are now...?
Any more issues, and I will remove the package (after dealing with my poor 
captive emails, of course...)

This may or may not be a separate bug from the one that crashed E-data-
server.  I have no idea.  It is reasonable to suppose that the crash
caused problems.
