I ran into this problem yesterday. I usually don't lock off and put my Laptop into standby. So I can't tell when and what patch caused the problem. I do see the same effect that gkd is running but I cannot communicate with it. As a workaround for now I made a script that kills the old daemon and starts a new one using the normal autostart.
Script gkd_helper.sh: #!/bin/sh killall gnome-keyring-daemon /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize Don't forget to chmod +x the file and put it somewhere. I have all my scripts in .bin but everyone has it's own philosophy. Autostart .config/autostart/gkd_helper.sh.desktop: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Exec=<path_to_helper_script>/gkd_helper.sh Hidden=false NoDisplay=false X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true Name=GKD Helper Comment=Gnome Keyring Helper Script Adjust the <path_to_helper_script> to your path.
