Yes, I did notice and followed the steps in UPDATING. In fact, when I
noticed the problem, I even forced a rebuild of gnome-keyring and
libgnome-keyring just in case there was something I missed.

If I kill all gnome-keyring-daemon processes and start it up by hand
as suggested by the link, the problem goes away; BUT this then
introduces a problem with ssh-authentication ... :(

Cheers.
