nm plugin crashed when using persistence and slow to provide wireless password

[Brian Murray]

Testing a usb stick with persistence on quantal. I booted one time and provided a password for my wireless network. The second boot I went to get a cup of tea and came back to one dialog asking for my gnome-keyring password and another saying that the installer had crashed.
