manager doesn't appear on the system tools menu. I will have to look for a
gui package. I figured it out though in the mean time. Network Manager calls
Keyring  before the wireless is ready to connect. If the user waits until
the taskbar(a visual cue for the user) is done loading and then enters the
keyring password  then everything  proceeds  normally.  If the user  enters
the password as soon as he is prompted and does not wait for the rest of the
desktop to load then he will be forced to connect manually to the access
point. A matter of four or five seconds. We're an impatient lot over here.
Sorry to clog the mail boxes with this foolishness. Hopefully its been
entertaining.
