Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Using ubuntu dapper > flight7
I have a few links to remote servers on my desktop, samba, ssh, etc.
When I choose open/insert/save file in a gtk program I am prompted to enter a password for a random connection. This is especially annoying when:
* Taking a screenshot requires entering a password for a remote machine I don't want or need to access.
* Crashing Open office when trying to insert a file, because it doesnt like waiting for a password prompt for some reason.
It seems like it is prompting me for passwords for connections which do not have their passwords saved in the keyring manager. Previously it did prompt for a keyring password. If ensure there is an active connection to the remote machine before I open/save/etc. by opening the link and entering my password, then I do not encounter any issues.
It seems like nautilus, or gtk is trying to open the links when building the dialogue. It should not prompt me for a password unless i try to access the links.
