Bug Description

If a Gnome keyring is made default other than the one where Mail applet's password is stored or if the key or the whole keyring is deleted, the applet will crash with BadArgumentsError or KeyError. (Depending on the new default keyring: KeyError if it has a key with the same id, else it's BadArgumentError.) The tracebacks are different for each backend.

If you use GMail BadArgumentsError only:

BadArgumentsError

If you use IMAP either KeyError or BadArgumentsError:

Please provide the following information (in the future try to read the guidelines below the bug report form):
- which distribution and version you use
- version of awn-extras or awn-applets-(something here). Name depends on which distro you have
- which e-mail backend did you use
- how to reproduce this bug (which steps the developer should follow)

If you use ubuntu and you're using Awn 0.4.0, then try to uninstall everything and then install the testing PPA (See https://launchpad.net/~awn-testing/+archive/ppa). If you cannot reproduce the bug in the testing PPA version, then please tell us that. Even then you should provide the information requested above.

Without this information I'm going to guess it's either a duplicate of bug #669135 or bug #610088.

Before having this problem, and in order to remove the annoying keyring prompt upon startup, I deleted the "passwords:default" key in "Passwords and Encryption Keys" and selected the "passwords:login" key as the default one. I followed the instructions found on Ubuntuforums.

How can we reverse this?

Please post the link to the instructions on Ubuntuforums, this way we can hopefully reproduce the bug. Please answer the other questions, too:
- which version of Ubuntu you use
- version of awn-applets-(something here)
- which e-mail backend did you use (GMail, IMAP, POP?)

sorry, I'm late.

I think that Ignacio Osuna is right.
I deleted the "password:default" key.
The problem is solved.

thank you.

- I use
Ubuntu 10.10
awn 0.40 & mail applet 0.4.1
Gamil as e-mail backend

Thanks for your feedback. The applet shouldn't crash in this situation, therefore setting status back to "Triaged".
