Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
Package: evolution
Releases: 8.10
Version: 2.24.1-0ubuntu2
When Evolution starts, it needs the keyring so I am being asked for the corresponding passphrase. During this time, however, the Evolution thread is blocked. This means, for example, that Evolution turns gray when I have Compiz effects enabled.
The desired behaviour should be that Evolution waits patiently with the UI thread still running during the time I enter the passphrase.

thank you for your bug report, not sure that's a bug though, the passwords are often required to use the accounts and not having the authentification validated would lead to a weird behaviour, could you open the request on bugzilla.gnome.org too where the people writting the software will read it?
