NetworkManager-vpnc gnome-keyring problem after F9 update

[Warren Togami]

Today I did a pile of F9 updates for the first time since September 
13th.  The update log is attached.

After rebooting I found that NetworkManager caused gnome-keyring to 
pop-up those "Always Allow" dialogs for all keys that it wanted to 
access.  I had to click "Always Allow" on every key again.  It 
successfully connected to WPA, but failed immediately to connect using 
NetworkManager-vpnc.

/var/log/messages contains the following as I attempted to connect with 
vpnc a few times in a row.

read /proc/4855/environ: Error reading file '/proc/4855/environ': No 
such process

Then I ran gnome-keyring-manager and this weird message showed up.

Sep 29 22:25:08 newcaprica gnome-keyring-daemon[4626]: couldn't allocate 
secure memory to keep passwords and or keys from being written to the disk

I eventually figured out that if I deleted the password key from 
gnome-keyring-manager, then NetworkManager-vpnc's next attempt asked me 
for a new password.  Upon typing the new password it succeeded and is 
working now.

I am posting this here because I do not have time to attempt to 
reproduce the problem and write a useful detailed bug report.  I hope 
others who see similar bad behavior can share their experiences and 
someone else can write a detailed report from this.
