I don't think it's a bug in gnome-panel anymore, but in gnome-keyring,
because of the following.
I managed to reproduce it by being connected at reboot via ethernet,
then removing the ethernet cable so that the password prompt window
appeared. At this point I tried to attach gdb, but I could not send
keyboard input to an open console when I selected it - all keyboard
input went to the gnome-keyring window, no matter where the mouse
pointer was or what I clicked on. Oddly, the mouse clicks seemed to work
- perhaps this is why the gnome-panel menu title indicates it is
selected (eg the 'Places' text will go into reverse text when you click
on it, but no menu actually appears).
This was in Gutsy (although with kernel 2.6.24-8) with these versions of
gnome-keyring:
ii gnome-keyring 2.20-0ubuntu4
GNOME keyring services (daemon and tools)
ii gnome-keyring-manager 2.20.0-0ubuntu2
keyring management program for the GNOME des
ii libgnome-keyring0 2.20-0ubuntu4
GNOME keyring services library
ii libpam-gnome-keyring 2.20-0ubuntu4
GNOME keyring services PAM module
