    Post nm-applet Keeps Popping Up

    I have a problem, whenever I boot up my computer and login to my desktop, I immediately get a popup message that says:

    "Enter Password for default keyring to unlock
    - The application 'nm-applet' (/usr/bin/nm-applet) wants to access the default keyring, but it is locked"

    Then it has an option for me to enter the password or deny it.

    I think it has something to do with network manager application. If I deny it, I don't get internet. If I enter my password, I get internet. I am using WPA Personal, I entered my key and setup AES-CCMP as the type.

    I don't want the nm-applet message to pop up, I just want to boot up normally and connect to the internet. How can I fix this?

    Gateway Laptop 3018GZ
    Xubuntu 8.04
    xfce-desktop

    UPDATE:
    I tried installing libpam-gnome-keyring and adding the following 2 lines at the end of the gdm file(/etc/pam.d), but the problem still persists.
    Code:
    auth optional pam_keyring.so try_first_pass
    session optional pam_keyring.so
    I've been searching all day trying to find a fix but so far most of them is for Ubuntu and NOT Xubuntu.

    I've read a blog here where a user has to install 'seahorse' and configure it.....but unfortunately I've also tried that method but no luck because there was no tab for 'GNOME Keyring'....I'm using xfce so I assume it won't provide me with that.

    UPDATE 2:
    I also tried what this person suggested by manually configuring and disabling roaming mode, but again it didn't work. That will only disable my wireless network which is not what I want.

    I've also tried deleting the default.keyring located at (.gnome2/keyrings) and start from scratch but didn't work. I hope I can draw some of your attention. This is very annoying.
