sugar-emulator: keyring is locked at startup

[tomeu]

A dialog asking for the user password appears when starting up sugar-emulator. Not sure there's anything we can do in Sugar about it.

What's causing it? the nm client?

mission control (if configured so)

Comment from jfruitet (I rejected the submission because Jean accidently modified the description instead of leaving a comment):

This bug happens with Fedora-14-i686-Live-SoaS.iso Seams to be the same bug that  ​https://bugzilla.redhat.com/
show_bug.cgi?id=649013

When you first boot Fedora 14 SoaS, after entering your name, it pops up the
main 'desktop' with a gnome-keyring window over the top asking for a password
for the default keyring. If you enter a password, the window comes right back
up again. You can never get past it by entering a password; you have to cancel
out of it. I didn't check what are the consequences of cancelling out of the
window (I'd guess passwords aren't stored in a keyring and you have to enter
them over and over again).

This isn't a gnome-keyring bug per se, I don't think, as it doesn't behave this
way on Desktop or LXDE spins; it's something to do with the Sugar environment
configuration or the SoaS spin configuration.

Since that password is asked when you reboot the system but is not well registered, you can't never access to
Sugar again.

An option might be:

• add param-password option to accounts.cfg file (MC doesn't do that if it uses gnome-keyring even if sugar passed password while account registering);
• avoid using gnome-keyring at all by having fake dbus service files.

Finally, I didn't get it running on Fedora-16 environment.
Will provide custom telepathy-mission-control via Sweets, built without gnome-keyring support.

sugar-emulator is dead, fixed in sugar-runner
