for whatever reason after I check the box (Available to all users) it
doesn't seem to "stick".

I've re-created my keyring and made sure that the libpam files are
installed.  Still the same message.

After rebooting I took a more careful look at the message:
"The application 'NetworkManager Applet' (/usr/bin/nm-applet) wants to
access the default keyring, but it is locked"

so is it actually talking about the little applet running in the
taskbar not having permission?  what's the workaround for this...
other than typing the password each time.
