well, i'll try to be more specific. basically the procedure is the
following:

1. changing the password for the "login" keyring
2. logout/login
3. entering the new password in the password prompt -> wireless gets connected 
(as a sign that the password was correct)
4. however, similar to bug #745780 (and maybe due to the same cause), another 
prompt comes up saying that the password was wrong (while it must have been 
right because wifi connected). so i cancel the other prompt.

5a. after the next logout/login, no password prompt comes up. this is
because the password has been reset to be the same as the session
password. (i checked that several times because locking and unlocking
the keyring in the password manager only works with the session password
and not with the new one i entered).

5b. the password also gets reset if i don't logout/login again (i.e.
stay in the same session after step 4), which i confirmed by just
locking and trying to unlock the "login" keyring once more in the
password manager, which only worked with the session password.

so, bottom line, my thinking is that the password being reset has
something to do with the other password prompt coming up as described in
step 4. i don't know if it's the same cause as bug #745780 (i have no
idea of the internal workings of the keyring manager) so i filed a new
bug instead of just adding it to the description of that bug.

any other things i should add?  i couldn't find anything in .xsession-
errors related to gnome-keyring (other than some window size issues).
any other place i should look?
