Bug Description

I first had the problem of being unable to change keyring password (3.6.0), which was resolved later (3.6.2) but after I've changed the default password (same as user login password) to (insecure) blank password, seahorse allows this for some time and later it decides to override it with the default password again. I manually upgraded to 3.6.3 and this helped a bit, meaning this bug appearing less frequently. But it's still there. I use Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit.
