Bug#842223: seahorse: can't unlock Gnome keyring

[Toni Mueller]

Package: seahorse
Version: 3.20.0-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I want to use seahorse to unlock my Gnome keyring, which I need for
some other app (Evolution) that depends on it.

Since my latest upgrade, I am no longer being asked for a password to
unlock it with this pop-up (which app produces that?), so I thought I'd
use seahorse instead. In seahorse, I can see the keyring, then
right-click and select 'Unlock', and then nothing happens. As a result
of this, the keyring does not get unlocked.

I would expect a password dialogue to appear to let me unlock the
keyring.

FWIW, I use awesome as a "desktop", but need to use Evolution to access
my email on an Exchange server. However, switching to Gnome entirely is
not an option.


Cheers,
Toni
