Are the permissions on your files the same?  Is it possible that you
initially logged into the desktop as root and then used NM to connect to
a network?  Perhaps just removing that directory (although that specific
directory name may be stored by nm-applet *somewhere* so just removing
the directory might not help) might help.

The files are actually sockets so the leading 's' is apparently
required.

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.

Regards,

Tom Arnall

If it were my box I'd fix that gnome-keyring error first, since if I
remember correctly, that's where your wifi password gets stored (which
nm-applet uses) Try this:

and see if that helps you.

 Is there a command line procedure to deal with this?

Oh dear. :-(  What on earth leads you to this conclusion?  There is no 
evidence to support it at all.

 can anyone here at 
 least tell me why? 

Presumably no-one knew the answer.  You wouldn't want 2000 Sorry, don't 
knows would you?  The rest of us certainly woyuldn't. 

There may have been one or two people who could have answered and didn't, but 
no-one is under any kind of obligation to answer.  And they may have had 
toothache, or a rush on at work, or been getting married or have had a 
bereavement or.

So perhaps the list is too.
