[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#476560: network-manager-gnome: network manager silently fails to connect to keyring after, user login password is changed

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.6.5-3
Severity: important

If you change your login password the keyring password remains as the 
old password, which causes network manager to silently fail to connect 
to the keyring manager after session login without notification.  This 
is due to network manager using gdm login password when trying to 
connect to keyring manager.  This leaves you unable to connect to any 
wireless networks that require a key until you also update your keyring 
password.  Network manager preferably should prompt for a password if 
connection to keyring manager fails, or at the least give a notification 
of the problem.
