Description Sebastien Bacher 2010-07-20 14:38:52 UTC 
The issue has been described on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/553759

Basically running any python-gnomekeyring client using a french locale on a new installation will lead to crashes:

"Traceback (most recent call last):

    ":".join([admin_username, admin_password]), True) NoSuchKeyringError"

The "Default" translation in french is "Par défaut" and the non-utf8 char seems to be an issue for gnome-keyring clients. Not sure if the name should we written untranslated or if the library should handle UTF8 chars in the names

you can trigger the bug using keyring.py in gnome-python-desktop on a GNOME 2.30 installation

    [dbus] Fix encoding problems with keyring names and foreign characters.
    
     * Creating keyrings with a label that contained non-ascii charaters
       was broken.
