Possibly related to this - gnome-keyring-daemon *sometimes* dies if left running overnight. For example yesterday afternoon I had this:

   > set | grep SSH
   SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/libexec/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass
   SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/keyring-y0Zso0/ssh

   > fuser $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
     2674
   > ps h `fuser $SSH_AUTH_SOCK`
    2674 ? S 0:37 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon -d --login

All working nicely. This morning I got:

   > set | grep SSH
   SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/libexec/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass
   SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/keyring-y0Zso0/ssh

   > fuser $SSH_AUTH_SOCK

which means the gnome-keyring-daemon process has died.

It seems like the process dies (or is killed) when the screensaver is unlocked in the morning rather than during the night. (screensaver unlock doesn't always do that though).
