The same situation here.
I have a configured GSM connection with all the credentials saved in
connection options (authentication and PIN). nm-applet refuses to
autostart on login and if I run it by hand I get the same messages as in
post #1 (nm-applet appears in taskbar). Then I cannot use my GSM
connection (np-applet asks me for credentials notoriously, as if it
could not see the saved options).
I've noticed also that if I run the keyring daemon by hand:
$ gnome-keyring-daemon -f
GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/tmp/keyring-PTN1MI
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/keyring-PTN1MI/ssh
GNOME_KEYRING_PID=7595
[...]
and try to use my GSM connection, then I get an authentication request
from the keyring daemon ('Enter password to unlock your login keyring')
and everything is OK.
I guess that this is rather a problem with keyring than with
NetworkManager.
$ lsb_release -a
