Dick I sent off-list a screenshot of my Settings -> Session and Startup -> Application autostart (tab). Uncheck anything that says "GNOME-keyring" Next delete $HOME/.local/share/keyrings/ $HOME/.googleearth/ $HOME/.config/Google/ and reboot. That should reset the gnome-keyring-daemon and Google earth back to defaults. -Ed
