This also means that account information is not persisted across desktop sessions.  Thus the user has to re-create all accounts each time they log in.

Comment 2 Brian Pepple 2011-03-12 02:16:16 UTC
I'm fairly certain that this bug is due to the version of gnome-keyring(1) currently in f15, and should be fixed with the latest updates soon-to-be-available in updates-testing. Other apps (evolution, etc) are also experiencing this bug, but haven't had a chance to verify that this does actually fix it. Hopefully, I'll get a chance over the weekend.

(1) gnome-keyring-2.91.92-1.fc15 & libgnome-keyring-2.91.92-1.fc15

Comment 3 Brian Pepple 2011-03-29 22:02:27 UTC
This should be fixed with the latest version of gnome-keyring in F15. Please reopen if this is not the case.
