Okay, children.  Tame it down or you both get a time out!


Delete /home/YOUR NAME/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring

Gnome/network manager will recreate the default.keyring with correct permisssions next time you connect. Enter the same password as you login password and I believe it will not prompt you in the future.
