gnome-keyring password screen hangs

[peterzay]

When you insert an encrypted USB key drive, a password screen pops up.

Key in the password and hit enter, the mouse pointer shows busy for about 10-15 seconds before taking effect.

This is reproducible on this Lenovo SL500 laptop.

Previously, this data entry would be immediate.

There may be a security implication to this bug.

[Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand)]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

In the 28-feb-2012 beta, the behaviour has changed.

The response to password entry is immediate. Nautilus is launched, the mouse pointer then changes to busy (circular) and stays busy for 15-20 seconds.

This is reproducible.

In the 24-mar-2012 beta, all behaviours have returned to normal.
