Bug Description

When I try to get an open-file dialog (in any gnome application), it tries to access my key ring several times. It is asking for permission to view a remote folder in my list of favorite folders.
It happens to be an ftp folder and it happens to be the last one in the list, but I'm not sure this is related.

In my opinion it should not try to read that folder because it is not the default folder. And even if it would be the default, it would be nicer if it only asks for the password if the user selects it.

I'm not sure if the bug is in this package. If it isn't I'm sorry and maybe someone can assign it to the right package?

Confirming. Bookmark an FTP location (login required), but don't save that password. Any open dialog which can access remote VFS resources will cause a password request dialog to open.

It also happens with save dialogs (say, save from gedit, or the gnome-screenshot program).
