You are probably right that there is something going wrong in keyring, Sergey.

But there is also a MAJOR change in the way nm-applet works, at least for me. As far as I can see, nm 0.6.4 never set up a keyring, either in Feisty or in Gutsy. The 0.6.5 version seems to do it whether I want it to or not. Why is this? Isn't a keyring supposed to be an optional additional convenience - in this case, so we don't have to keep searching for the bit of paper with the WEP or WAP passkey written on it? I would prefer to be asked if I want this new behavior, preferably AFTER the network connection has been established correctly without any hassle.

This is a significant blemish in the "It Just Works" for me - whether or not there are flaws in keyring.
