Bug Description

There seems to be a persistent leak in gnome-keyring-daemon. Several times I've come into work to find a very sluggish machine swapping applications back in with the daemon consuming 45% of my system memory (according to htop on an 8GB machine). If there is any debugging tips to be offered on how to run the daemon outside of gnome-shell please let me know and I can valgrind it for you.

Currently it's taking up a modest 510M of VIRT (238M RES), I expect this to be much more when I come back into the office on Monday.

Apologies - this package is part of the Gnome 3 PPA. According to #179873 I can't assign this bug to a PPA so I'm unsure what to do. Will contact the PPA manager directly.

thank you for your bug report, closing it since that's a ppa issue and not an ubuntu one though
