Hi,

When I log into Gnome-Shell my WPA2 password is remembered between
sessions in Network Manager. But when I log into my default desktop
(Pekwm/Tint2) which also uses Network Manager I have to enter the
password every time. What can I do to get Network Manager remember
the password outside of Gnome?

I'm running Debian Wheezy with Gnome 3.2

I think you don't have gnome-keyring-daemon running in Pekwm. This is a
common problem with window managers; you have to configure/start the
Gnome daemons that give the nice functionality by hand.

That's probably it.

What does it look like when running 'ps aux | grep gnome-keyring-daemon'
in a terminal? On my machine it gives the following:

ps aux | grep gnome-keyring-daemon
adrian    2964  0.0  0.0   4052   760 pts/2    S+   03:15   0:00 grep
gnome-keyring-daemon
adrian 3816 0.0 0.1 58308 3696 ? SLl 01:30 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login

On mine:

1000 17180 0.0 0.0 7792 876 pts/0 S+ 23:41 0:00 grep gnome-keyring-daemon


I'm not sure how gnome-keyring-daemon is started, there is gnome-keyring stuff in /etc/xdg/autostart which gets started at login and also there is /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.keyring.service (but neither starts gnome-keyring-daemon with '--daemonize --login'). I myself am running Openbox, but thank god, I didn't have problems with this.

In Pekwm the startup "manage" is a text file called 'start'. I already have a few things started from there, so I will look into having gnome-keyring-daemon start also.

Thanks!

HTH.
