Chrome is a Gnome app. So is Firefox. So is Thunderbird. The fact that you're using KDE is irrelevant. The apps use the Gnome libraries and the Gnome keyring. As to why it only happens with VNC, I've no idea. Do you mean it happens with each new VNC session, or with each new instance of Chrome? I use Evolution under KDE and have to go through *two* password checks when starting it in a new (local) login session, but within the session I can stop and restart Evo with no further checks. (BTW with F14 it used to be just one check. This is progress?) poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
