Re: pam keyring issues
ok, i upgraded gdm to 2.20.2-1 and it seems to have fixed the problem.
it did prompt me the first time but the new keyring dialog also has a
checkbox to do it automatically on login and this seems to have worked.
the only other noticeable thing with the upgrade was that the shutdown
menu item is no longer available from the gnome-menu under system. i
assume this is a new permissions thing so i'll dig around.
the gdm upgrade from sid brought in the following with it:
capplets-data (1:2.18.1-1) to 1:2.20.1-2
gdm (2.18.4-1) to 2.20.2-1
gnome-control-center (1:2.18.1-1) to 1:2.20.1-2
gnome-session (2.18.3-1) to 2.20.2-1
libgnome-window-settings1 (1:2.18.1-1) to 1:2.20.1-2
libpanel-applet2-0 (2.18.3-2) to 2.20.2-2
thanks
