Bug Description

In the package gnome-keyring-sharp - 1.0.0-2ubuntu1
a new wrapper was introduced which fixes GMail plugin in Docky etc.

"Replace socket use with a wrapper around libgnome-keyring."

But i've noticed that when applications are reading passwords from the keyring, the CPU usage goes off the chart and the applications even fail in getting the password (maybe it's just me who doesn't have the patience to wait).

I've found two ways to reproduce it.
1. Use the GMail plugin in Docky. In system monitor, docky has a constant CPU usage of about 60-80 percent.
2. Mount a password protected network share (In my case, sftp) and choose to save the password. Next time when trying to mount CPU goes off the chart again. This time it's gvfsd-sftp.

Ubuntu Lucid x64
libgnome-keyring1.0-cil 1.0.0-2ubuntu1
