NetworkManager + gnome-keyring + x86_64 == doom?

I've been having an ongoing issue with NetworkManager and
gnome-keyring.  This happens on a fresh install of test2 or rawhide.
When I first log into my desktop and use NetworkManager to connect to
an access point with a passphrase, I get asked to create a new gnome
keyring.  So I provide a passphrase (which is different than my
password) and allow NM to store the passphrase within.  Upon any
subsequent connection attempt, nm-applet will segfault.  To recover, I
have to edit gconf and remove the stored entry for this access point,
and remove the keyrings.  Even if I opt out of creating a keyring,
nm-applet will still segfault until I remove the gconf entries again.
Obviously this is less than ideal.

Can anybody duplicate this issue?  I've already talked to one person
using the same package versions as I am but on i386 and he isn't having
this issue.  It may be x86_64 specific.  Also note that I'm using
thinkfinger to manage my finger reader and the pam module is loaded,
however I've disabled the module and my problems continue.

Before filing a bug I'd like to see if anybody else can duplicate this
issue.
