Hmmm, that's a bummer. I thought we'd fixed this issue before 2.22.0. In
that case the problem was that gnome-keyring-daemon didn't get
appropriate environment variables.

We added a function (gnome_keyring_daemon_prepare_environment_sync)
which sent appropriate environment variables to the daemon, as well as
got environment variables from the daemon (think SSH_AUTH_SOCK) and set
them in the application calling that function.

Does this seem to be related to the problem? Has either gnome-keyring or
gnome-session been patched to take out this call on Fedora?
