Thanks for your answer. My gconf issues were I had no writable paths. I solved it with a ~/.gconf.paths (see bug #60443). Maybe I messed up my config, but I don't play with those config files unless I'm forced to ;)
I don't think that's an issue with my computer as it did work very well with Dapper. But something might have gone wrong since then. I launched gnome-keyring-manager, then gdb -p $(pidof gnome-keyring-daemon) and the trace is below. Hope this helps (though it doesn't look very useful). I have two gnome-keyring-daemon entries in the process list (ps uax) : one that is stable (0.0 CPU and 10 Mo RAM), and the other constantly growing. It might be a fork or a thread.
