This patch does not apply as-is to 2.4.10.

If you run a complete GNOME or XFCE desktop, then nothing special is required. If you are running KDE or are using XWin -multiwindow, then you need to run: /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=secrets Presuming you're running multiwindow, add this to your ~/.startxwinrc after your "eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax`" line and before any regular applications.
