Package: gnome-keyring
Version: 3.18.0-1
Severity: grave

Since upgrading gnome-keyring from 3.16.0-4 to 3.18.0-1, applications
trying to retrieve secrets from gnome-keyring no longer can.  I see log
messages like the following:

Oct 01 10:36:37 jtriplet-mobl1 gnome-keyring-daemon[5801]: couldn't access control socket: /run/user/1000/keyring/control: No such file or directory

In addition to that, it also looks like every time an application tries to
access the org.freedesktop.secrets service, dbus spawns an instance of
gnome-keyring with the --foreground option, likely based on
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.secrets.service ; does this conflict
with the instance already run via /etc/xdg/autostart?
