After further investigation, the problem disappears when I kill seahorse-daemon, but comes back when I relaunch it... :-/
Not sure if this is related, but when I run seahorse-daemon, I get the following (warning?) message: pa@nua:~$ killall -q seahorse-daemon; seahorse-daemon -d ** (seahorse-daemon:27610): WARNING **: Could not load desktop file '/usr/share/gnome/autostart/seahorse-daemon.desktop': No such file or directory ** Message: init gpgme version 1.2.0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1154049 Title: Crashes with GLib-GIO-CRITICAL.
