Bug#649408: Also affecting pop3d

When connecting to my POP3 server the warning message is output before the 
POP3 banner, which confuses my Mozilla pop3 client and prevents the client 
from connecting.

telnet www.highlandsun.com 110
Trying 70.87.222.79...
Connected to www.highlandsun.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: no socket to connect to
+OK POP3 Ready <17721.1323846885 at highlandsun.com>
QUIT
+OK
Connection closed by foreign host.

Mozilla says:

"An error occurred with the POP3 mail server. Mail server www.highlandsun.com 
responded:"

(and nothing else.)


Why the hell are headless network services trying to talk to the Gnome keyring 
in the first place? The idiocy of this is astounding.
