If I change my theme in Gnome, the Keyring Manager doesn't accept my Passwords.

When you open a Programm requireing a Password Gnome-Keyring handles this. If it startsup first it asks for a Keyring-Password. From then, all Passwords of (at least Gnome-) Programms are stored in the Gnome-Keyring. Everytime you open a Programm with a saved Password you have to unlock the Keyring by entering your Keyring-Password. Every new Programms gets its entry in the Keyring too.

If I use other Themes as the Gnome default (Clearlooks) Gnome-Keyring doesn't accept any input anymore. If no Keyring-Password is set you can enter an new one, but it seems going to /dev/null and the requested Programm doesn't start (because Gnome-Keyring doesn't allow it).
If a Keyring-Password is already set you get asked for it at the start of every Programm having a Key in the Keyring. If you enter a Key, ist also goes to /dev/null and the Programm doesn't open or rejects access with a "Wrong Password" Promt.

Recieved error with Gajim, Evolution, Seahorse.
I only found this error on my Notebook. Both, my Desktop and my Notebook, are i686(Notebook Centrino, Desktop AthlonXP). Both installaions of Arch are 2days old, so the error couldn*t be produced my mis-setup as i did the same on both PCs...
This task depends upon

What themes did you try? I'm using the mist theme without any problem. It could be a bug in your windowmanager (which one do you use? do you use beryl/compiz? do you use metacity with enabled compositor?), your theme engine, etc.

this error occured first with the neutrino-theme form gnome-look.org, but also with a color-modified clearlooks (default) theme and some others.
i use the default metacity wm and no effects at all.

I can't reproduce this. Neither can I follow the logic of "having to unlock your keyring for every program". It looks like something is wrong with your keyring information, usual behaviour of gnome-keyring is to unlock the keyring and keep it unlocked until someone locks it again or when your keyring daemon is stopped.

Does this still occur with gnome 2.20? I still can't reproduce this.
