Description: Due to latest gnome-keyring mail-notification stops working.
A popup window for mail-notification appears asking to type the passwd for the pop3 account. When saving there will be a new popup window saying: Unable to save the mailbox password. The password of POP3 mailbox xxxxx could not be saved to the keyring. This will go on every 5 minutes. Only way to get rid of it is to uninstall mail-notification and check for new mails manually from the mail app.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

extra/mail-notification 5.0-1
extra/gnome-keyring-manager 2.20.0-1

Steps to reproduce:

startx

downgrading mail-notification and adding IgnorePkg = mail-notification to pacman.conf fixes the keyring terror.

Still no solution to mail-notification-5.0-1. It is not even possible to compile it :( Compilation crashes on eel-error). And I do not have evolution or gob2 installed either - installing them doesn't resolve the eel-error. I also tried to compile it with --disable-gnome-keyring. Only thing that works without gnome-keyring interference is downgrading and ignoring mail-notification upgrade in pacman.conf.

Same problem with new keyring. But it doesn't matter - as long as I can avoid gnome-keyring I am happy. Still using old mail-notification.

Please try latest version and if it still happens file a bug report upstream

Still faithful to old mail-notification. It is safely in IgnorePkg - tried the new one - same harassment from keyring.

Does not work with gnome-2.24 either unless you enable gdm in rc.conf - then gnome-keyring will remember passwd, otherwise you are prompted to give the passwd every time you log into Gnome.
I have deleted gdm and edited the /etc/pam.d files according to http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/Pam, but to no avail. Seems gnome-keyring cannot work without gdm running.
The Gnome ppl on gimp.net #gnome blame my distro for not setting up pam correctly.
I am trying to find a replacement to mail-notification, but there seems to be no such thing. I even rebuilt mail-notification without gnome-keyring - but gnome completely ignores it and still present me with a keyring login box every time I start a gnome session.
This really pisses me off. I might have to swallow my pride and try to get on terms with kde, although it is the least I wish.
But gnome is a hopeless mess as to configurability. It is like microsoft windows - "do as we say, or you cannot run gnome! ... And don't mess with the files!"
