Allows GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET environment variable through to spawned programs (521 bytes, patch)
2007-07-23 22:47 UTC, Stef Walter 		rejected Details | Review

Description Stef Walter 2007-07-23 22:46:33 UTC 
gnome-keyring now has a PAM module which supports unlocking the user's keyring when the screen saver unlock password is typed.

The GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET environment variable needs to be passed through to the gnome-screensaver-dialog program for this to work.

Will attach a patch.

LMK if this is okay to commit with an appropriate ChangeLog entry.

Hrm.  I think it may be time to kill this environment variable filtering.  Bug 327602.
Comment 3 Stef Walter 2007-07-29 15:47:32 UTC 
May I add this variable for 2.19.6, even if it will be removed later? People are starting to complain about multiple gnome-keyring-daemon instances caused by this: bug #461188
Comment 4 William Jon McCann 2007-07-30 15:19:20 UTC 
Can you confirm that the removal of filtering (bug 327602) fixes your problem?
Comment 5 Stef Walter 2007-07-30 17:11:11 UTC 
Yes it does.

Thanks for fixing that.
