Nate, Thanks for your response. I ended up dealing with the problem by switching to wicd, but the incident has helped me learn some things about keyrings. I think my real problem was the one where you flounder around to the point of desperation looking for a quick fix, instead of taking the trouble to first get an understanding of the context, in this case the basic functions of keyrings, before attempting to fix a specific problem.
