Somehow I already had a (broken) default.keyring file, and in the gnome-keyring-daemon, it loops looking for a defaultX.keyring, where X is a version number. Source file : gnome-keyring-daemon-file.c, lines 194 through 205. version = 0; do { if (version == 0) { filename = g_strdup_printf ("%s.keyring", base); } else { filename = g_strdup_printf ("%s%d.keyring", base, version); } path = g_build_filename (dir, filename, NULL); g_free (filename); } while (g_file_test (path, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS)); Unfortunately, there's no incrementation of the "version" integer in that loop, so it might be looping forever if there's already such a file (as version always ==0). A simple patch would be to increment the version number at the end of loop corpse. Sorry, I never submitted a patch before so I don't know what command I should use to attach it. No, please don't laugh :p.
