Bug Description
Gnome apps like gq (ldap admin) seem not to be able to create a keyring and store passwords correctly. The popup for creating the keyring appears and it seems the keyring gets created. But the LDAP password dialog reappears over and over.
It seems gq cannot access the password in the keyring
checking the keyring with gnome-keyring-
restarting gq shows the "create keyring" dialog again.
So it seems the new keyring (usually called "Default") hasn't been created.
No errors logged on console for gq.
gajim seems also to have a problem with the keyring and falls back to storing password in the own configuration file

I have the same problem on Gutsy with keyring and networkmanager. The problem might only occeur if one deletes the default keyring with keyring-manager. Creating a valid new (default) keyring always fails. Some investigation of my old Feisty install in comparison to the Gutsy install brought some insights:
Feisty: default keyring is located in ~/.gnome2/
Gutsy: all keyrings created by the user (e.g. with keyring-manager or the "passphrase for keyring" dialogue from nm-applet) are stored in ~/keyrings/
For me it looks like there is a problem in the interplay between gnome-keyring and gnome-keyring-
