Hi Patrick, thanks for your quick answer. "Gnome-keyring" is indeed the culprit. One can find several work-around in the (often unhappy) user community and I don't have enough time to follow the quite technical discussions. The simplest for me is to issue a flush by: gnome-keyring-daemon -r -d Not elegant but it works! It might help some users...
