Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-keyring

In Hardy, gnome-keyring is launched via dBus as opposed to being exec'd
directly by gnome-session as in Gustsy.

The dBus conf file for gnome-keyring (
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.keyring.service ) specifies the
--foreground option for gnome-keyring.   This does two things:

 - prevents gnome-keyring from forking and becoming a daemon process

 - prevents prepare_logging() from being called, which effectively
disables logging

I can't say I fully understand why keyring isn't being run as a daemon,
however disabling logging IMHOP is bad.  I've been trying to track down
keyring related problems in Ubuntu Mobile, and finally ended up having
to patch keyring so that prepare_logging() gets called even if
foreground is specified ( see attached patch ).

Note - I'm using version 2.21.92-0ubuntu1, although I checked the latest
code ( gkr-daemon.c ) in SVN and it's identical.
