Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-keyring

gnome-keyring-daemon should launch itself when needed.

I have a fresh install of K-jaunty, and I installed Empathy. Now, when I launch empathy, it refuses to connect my accounts because keyring-daemon is not working.
If I type "gnome-keyring-daemon" in a terminal and then relaunch Empathy, then it works fine.

Thus I do suppose that there are two ways to help :
1. make Empathy check if the daemon is launched before to connect the accounts
2. make the daemon launch itself when it is requested.

I experience it with Jaunty, but it was more or less the same with Hardy : when I have a Kubuntu basis, the gnome-keying-daemon makes troubles.

Have a good night
Laurent
