This is how the problem are triggered:

Context: Standard Ubuntu 8.04 (with Gnome) installed on the Client (with OpenOffice and ubuntu-desktop installed), Ubuntu 6.06 or greater installed in the server with openssh-server installed

1) On the client, connect a directory to the client from the server using the Places-menu-system
2) Drag and drop some OpenOffice-documents and ascii-text-documents to the mounted share on the server
3) Fire up OpenOffice and Gedit
4) Using the Gnome Open dialogue: try to open, change and save one of the text-documents using gedit
5) Using the Gnome Open dialogue: try to open, change and save one of the openoffice-documents using openoffice

On every machine I have tested this, step 5 stopped due to an extra password dialogue

I don't know if this is a bug in gvfs-sftp, the Gnome-keyring-system, the OpenOffice-gnome-addition or else (fat fingers).

But I know gvfs-sftp is new in Ubuntu 8.04 and this configuration worked like charm from 6.06 to 7.04 and with a few gliches in 7.10 (reinstall helped) .

If the new gvfs-sftp require changes that is not done in the OpenOffice-Gnome-addition, or if its ment that the api used in OpenOffice-gnome-addition could stay untouched and the bug are located to gvfs or the keyring are a question which I don't have much to add.
