That's how it is. What you say is true if you tell gnome-keyring to 
"always allow" access to the key, but it's still very annoying to be 
asked for every key you access.

It would be great if gnome-keyring asked "This program wants complete 
access to the keyring 'wireless.' Do you want to allow access? [Once] 
[Always]".

So, in this case, a program that is well integrated with NetworkManager 
is asking the keyring question just by virtue of the fact that the 
binary is different (nm-edit vs. nm-applet).
