Hello, first I'm not 100% sure which package this belong to
so apologies if this is a metacity issue or a gnome-keyring
issue.

I had just restarted my dbus system daemon and I clicked on
the nm-applet icon to see the list of networks at the same
time as the keyring passphrase dialogue appeared (it had
just noticed my WLAN and needed to unlock the passphrase)

Cheers,
Michael

I guess the problem is, that gnome-keyring dies, when you restart dbus. So weird things will happen. I'm sorry to say, but restarting dbus is rather problematic, as a lot of software doesn't properly cope with it. It doesn't help that dbus upstream considers it a bug, to restart dbus, but instead recommend to reboot the system.
