$ G_SLICE=always-malloc G_DEBUG=gc-friendly valgrind -v --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --num-callers=40 --log-file=valgrind.log nm-connection-editor

After few minutes the program memcheck crashed. I attach the log results (may incomplete due the crash).
I guess nm-connection-editor crashes when trying to save something to the keyring, so the problem may be in NM <-> gnome-keyring interaction.
