I have no idea, most likely the hash algorithm used for this key. You
could contact Gnome Keyring developers to get a better answer. You can
check /usr/share/doc/gnome-keyring for AUTHORS file, it should have
contact info.

Maybe there is a way to convert the old key into the new one but I find
that unlikely. Deployment of new keys may be the only option other than
using ssh-add.

PS. If you send g-k authors an email can you CC the bug so we all get
the answer?
