I guess the problem is, that gnome-keyring dies, when you restart dbus. 
So weird things will happen.
I'm sorry to say, but restarting dbus is rather problematic, as a lot of 
  software doesn't properly cope with it.
It doesn't help that dbus upstream considers it a bug, to restart dbus, 
but instead recommend to reboot the system.

Cheers,
Michael
