Bug Description

While working on Ubuntu, Evolution keeps popping up a dialog for entering the Google Calendar passwords (I use three calendar accounts for me, my wife etc). This allthough Evolution should remember my password. Closing Evolutiond does not help: the dialog keeps popping up (several times a minute sometimes).

I have the identical problem when setting up a single Google account.

I switched to the Gnome desktop and tried again. This time, no problem. Switched back to Ubuntu (with Google calendar still synced with Ubuntu) and no problem. So I'm not sure whether (a) setting it up in Gnome first fixed it, (b) the problem was fixed via some surreptitious update, or (c) there was some other fluky behavior in the sequence of setup that made it happen. Regardless, for now, the annoying login prompts have disappeared.
