Comment 17 for bug 932177

Well, one would think there must be some kind of work-around that lets me run gnome-keyring such that it is actually useful.

The background here is that it really bothers me to have my password in plain text format stored in .oscrc and apparently the keyring is the solution to this.

So I tried:

eval `/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize`

in my .xinitrc file. But the result was not pleasant. By the time the desktop was up and operational I had 3 gnome-keyring-daemon processes running, for whatever reason. How and why would that happen?

The second undesirable side effect was that the nm_applet was running but it was not showing up in the panel and I was unable to connect to a network.

The environment didn't appear to be completely setup either, the GPG and KEYRING environment variables were set but the SSH environment was not set.

I'd like to find some way, however hacky it may be to get the keyring stuff running. This at least would keep me going until a better solution is available from Xfce upstream.

Of course if there is yet another way to beat the osc authorization trap without running the keyring I am open to use that as well.
