Hmm, ok I will have a look in the morning. I am trying to get the latest 
eclipse to play nice at the moment on Solaris. NOT very pretty :(
My quick look at it had the following problem. Do you see this ???? 
(proc_lock_memory priv is required)

doug at prae> gnome-keyring-manager
couldn't lock 16384 bytes of private memory: Not owner
** Message: couldn't allocate secure memory to keep passwords and or 
keys from being written to the disk

(gnome-keyring-manager:101414): Gnome-Keyring-Manager-WARNING **: Failed 
to get keyring info.
