Actually, with the latest gnome-keyring-daemon patch, the error changed to: ** Message: secret service operation failed: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. However, I did find a workaround. I invoked: "System > Preferences > Startup Applications" and added an entry that slotted into the first of the list, eg "A Hack for Gnome Keyring", which had the command "gnome-keyring-daemon". This solved the communication problem. Hope that helps anyone else that sees this problem. -- Jonathan Chen Once is dumb luck. Twice is coincidence.
