According to post in another forum ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=294330 ), if you upgraded from Dapper, there is a workaround: copying over using the older version's default.keyring seems to solve this problem.
I have a new install of Edgy, so this is no help to me, but hope this info will help speed up the fix... :) If someone knows how to get the default.keyring generated using the old way, pls post it here. -- smb password not being saved in gnome keyring https://launchpad.net/bugs/67189 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
