Did you ever deny nm-applet or nm-connection-editor access to the Gnome
Keyring? Run 'gnome-keyring-manager' or 'seahorse' ('yum install
gnome-keyring-manager seahorse' if you don't have them installed) and
see if nm-applet and nm-connection-editor has access to the key in
question.
If all else fails, you can use the atom-bomb approach and 'rm -rf
~/.gnome2/keyrings' and then try to set the passphrase in
nm-connection-editor again.
