keyring not working at all

thank you for your bug report, do you have any error about it in .xsession-errors? could you use gdb to get a stacktrace while it's eating cpu (or use strace to see what it's doing)?

So, the gnome-keyring-daemon starts to hog the CPU once I'm starting chrome.
My .xsession-errors is attached.

$ sudo strace -p gkd.strace -p 27579
[sudo] password for hildeb:
Process 27579 attached - interrupt to quit
^CProcess 27579 detached

Result attached

Size is fluctuating wildly.

seems like you might have a buggy application that keeps writing to the keyring, do you see keyring calls going over dbus if you run dbus-monitor --session?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Not quite sure whether it is the identical problem but the gnome constantly asks for passwords for the vpn, some wifi networks and so on. It also fails to connect to online accounts.
My keyring folder looks like this:

Adding to post #8:

Apparently affects also 'duplicity'. The Gnome BackUp tool keeps stuck in 'Preparing...' it apparently cannot pass the password to my backup files.

PS: Sorry did not find an "Edit" option for my post above.
