Comment 14 for bug 275010

Max, good question. Right now, on the computer in question, I see only the daemon. Not the wrapper. What I saw back in mid-November (when I first tried your workaround) I can't say. I probably had only the daemon itself running at that time as well, but who knows.

8.10 hasn't been nearly stable enough for me to avoid reboots in the interim. At least 2 kernel updates and 3 or 4 issues of a black screen in X (when coming back after the screen saver has been invoked) that won't go away and require a reboot, etc. I wish my Ubuntu experience had been a smooth one, but it's been really rocky. I've got other issues as well that I won't bother to detail here.

Anyway, to answer you, it appears the keyring is running, which is apparently the right thing, so disregard my comment.
