Not sure if it adds much to the conversation but after deleting just the file in the keyrings dir under .gnome2 upon boot I was presented with a window asking for the network key. While this prompt was there the gnome-panel was white. After canceling out of this prompt the gnome- panel loaded. Then I simply plugged in an ethernet cable and clicked an icon on the panel and it didn't load. The panel was dead.
Then I ctrl+alt+f1ed and killed nm-applet from the console. Then alt+f7 brought me back to X. The panel was empty except for the trey icons and the system monitor. ie the menus launcher and clock were all empty. After waiting just a couple of seconds the panel lit back up and all of the buttons that I'd clicked on finally opened. I closed them and typed nm-applet into a console and nm-applet came back. However trying to connect to an access point again after that kills things yet again..
