well, i'll try to be more specific. basically the procedure is the following:

1. changing the password for the "login" keyring
2. logout/login
3. entering the new password in the password prompt -> wireless gets connected (as a sign that the password was correct)
4. however, similar to bug #745780 (and maybe due to the same cause), another prompt comes up saying that the password was wrong (while it must have been right because wifi connected). so i cancel the other prompt.

5a. after the next logout/login, no password prompt comes up. this is because the password has been reset to be the same as the session password. (i checked that several times because locking and unlocking the keyring in the password manager only works with the session password and not with the new one i entered).

5b. the password also gets reset if i don't logout/login again (i.e. stay in the same session after step 4), which i confirmed by just locking and trying to unlock the "login" keyring once more in the password manager, which only worked with the session password.

so, bottom line, my thinking is that the password being reset has something to do with the other password prompt coming up as described in step 4. i don't know if it's the same cause as bug #745780 (i have no idea of the internal workings of the keyring manager) so i filed a new bug instead of just adding it to the description of that bug.

any other things i should add? i couldn't find anything in .xsession-errors related to gnome-keyring (other than some window size issues). any other place i should look?
