Hi!
Yesterday I installed Xfce on my IBM T42 - I've been using GNOME, but I want to try something different; I have only big problem with passwords for wireless connections. I made research, I tried everything what I found on Arch Wiki, forum or even this, but nothing seems to fix my problem. Networkmanager applet can't find or save password.

But I found something interesting in /var/log/auth.log

What about the "environment variable"?
EDIT:
I also tried "Launch GNOME Services on startup" in settings.
Thanks for any help!

I really don't know much or anything about this subject, but I'll just comment on these lines:
eval $(gnome-keyring-daemon -s --components=pkcs11,secrets,ssh)
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4
setxkbmap pl
- I don't have the "eval ... gnome-keyring ..." line in my .xinitrc, only the "exec ck-launch-session startxfce4", and gnome-keyring is launched at startup.
- "setxkbmap pl" will never be executed since it is after "exec ...".
Edit: I'm not using SLIM, I'm autologining (? ) using the bash_profile method.

This seems likely to be a ConsoleKit/Policykit issus. SLiM is broken and doesn't interact with console-kit correctly, even with an explicit ck-launch-session. I'd advice to replace it by LXDM (or GDM, or KDM, ...).

Thanks for help.
I've tried LXDM, still not working.
Now keyring doesn't work on GDM+GNOME too. I'm trying to undo any change in configuration, propably I've damaged sth.
Is there any way to remove all important config in GNOME and "reconfig"? The only way I see is to remove GNOME with -Rn option in pacman and install again.

That's unfortunate. It seemed likely to be an authorization issue, which in turn made it likely to involve the incorrect ConsoleKit/PolicyKit use by SLiM.
Note, by the way, that when using LXDM or GDM (either through /etc/inittab or through adding "lxdm" to the DAEMONS line in /etc/rc.conf) your .xinitrc should just "exec startxfce4", or "exec xfce4-session" rather than with an additional ck-launch-session in front: LXDM/GDM does that part itself. In fact, ConsoleKit registration (through the display manager, or through an explicit ck-launch-session) should actually come BEFORE the dbus-launch and, as such, with SLiM that may have been part of the problem. Concentrating on SLiM, I (used to) have, in /etc/slim.conf:
login_cmd exec ck-launch-session /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session
and a fully vanilla archlinux .xinitrc consisting of
===
#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
#exec gnome-session
#exec startkde
#exec startxfce4
exec xfce4-session
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
===
Except the bit about SLiM being broken, such is the idea of the order of things (dbus-launch is launched from a script in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/: that's again vanilla arch).
Now, I guess you could try removing the ck-launch-session in the LXDM/GDM case, but I must say I doubt that's actually the problem. It'll probably just be unnecessary but not fatal. I'm also afraid that the opaque nature of GNOME configuration is the probably primary reason that I do not use GNOME. As such, removing it and re-installing like you are suggesting would be my best guess as well. Sorry :-/

It's funny.
After switching to GNOME suddenly keyrings have started working again. So I've run(by GDM) Xfce session and... it's working!
So I changed password to network, connecting again, request for new password, connected, reconnect and... "No keyring secrets found".
It looks like Xfce+nm-applet+gnome-keyring can't save password and I have no idea how make them to do this.
Anyway, great thanks for your posts and help.

If you do decide to go back to SLim you need to put in "dbus-launch" after "ck-launch-session" in your .xinitrc.
