No problem. BTW, a good place to contact is the
gnome-keyring-list gnome org in events like this. I've CC'd this email
there.

Do you have a .pub file for your key? The way in which we detected which
files where SSH keys changed at some point in the past.

Previously we would load files matching: ~/.ssh/id_?sa

Now we look for ~/.ssh/*.pub and then loading corresponding secret keys.
