Bug Description

nm-applet requests access to the keyring on login. If I leave the dialog (because I've walked away..) for a while then return and enter the keyring password, gnome will become unresponsive, partially loaded and stay that way so I have to do a forced reboot.

I ran into a similar situation when initially connecting to a wireless network. As soon as nm-applet showed a sucessful connection, gnome-keyring popped up. I was able to move my mouse around, however I was unable to select any windows, dialogs, etc. I wasn't able to use my keyboard either to switch between windows.

I WAS able to kill "/usr/lib/gnome-keyring/gnome-keyring-ask -d" process by <ctrl>+<alt>+<tab> to console. As soon as I killed the process, I was able to access gnome correctly yet again.

I would have to assume this is either a problem with how nm-applet calls gnome-keyring-ask, or it's a problem in general with gnome-keyring.

Just to add to this, it appears that this only occurs if you do not have a password initially set for gnome-keyring.

I ran /usr/lib/gnome-keyring/gnome-keyring-ask -d from a terminal. Set my password and attempted to connect to a network using nm-applet. No problems this time.

Bug #42300 appears to be a duplicate of this.

This looks like a problem with gnome-keyring, so I've marked the bug that way.

There wasn't a problem on the three different edgy installs I have done recently.
