Seahorse keeps asking me for a new keyring password every time I try to access
something in the keyring.  For example when I start Synaptic.  I type in a new
keyring password but it won't remember it.  The next time I start Synaptic for
example, it will ask for a new keyring password.

Evolution also keeps asking for my imap and smtp passwords which it used to get
from the keyring.

I try to save my imap password in Mail Notification Properties and I get a
popup error saying the password could not be saved to the keyring.

There is something wrong with the whole keyring process.

I tried deleting all files in the directory .gnome2/keyrings and letting gnome
rebuild the keyring but that didn't help any.

Dear Maintainer,

I don't have exactly this problem, but it is very similar. I am asked for a new
keyring password quite regularly, normally once every time I log in, sometimes
more or less - and it creates a new keyring. I tick 'automatically unlock', but
it still creates a new keyring. At the moment, when I go onto seahorse -
'passwords and keys', under passwords, there are about 60 or so keyrings called
'Login' and 3  called 'Default' one of the ones called 'Login' and one called
'Default' are unlocked, but all the rest aren't doing much. I could go through
and delete them all, but it doesn't solve the problem. It should not prompt me
for this keyring, since I have ticked for it to automatically unlock when I log
in; furthermore, there should only be one, so all the passwords could be
managed together, rather than 70 or so. I'm not clear what the distinction
between 'Login' and 'Default' is.
