[Solved] VPN connection "authentication dialog" not shown in Gnome

When I set up and connect a pptp VPN connection, it shows a red "Authentication" but the dialog is never shown when I use my user. While if I use a new user, the dialog is shown properly. I' ve tried various ways to reset Gnome shell and gnome-keyring to default settings ( by removing all config files), but without success. Can you provide a way to reset my user for gnome shell? The message  in journalctrl is:

 <error> [1410343464.417582] [vpn-manager/nm-vpn-connection.c:1778] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #2: (6) No agents were available for this request.

Re: [Solved] VPN connection "authentication dialog" not shown in Gnome

I somehow made the the dialog showed once by removing and reinstalling things.  But the dialog seems only appears once.

In awesome, the dialog shows after a long time (1 min), and fails to connect after I input the password.

In KDE, when I click the VPN to connect, the kde plasma nm applet fail to respond to any click. ( It used to work in KDE a few months ago.)

And the pure cli pptpsetup thing used to work 1 year ago, but not afterwards, which makes me very confusing.

I' m quite desparate at the situation now, how can I fix this?

EDIT: Well, it seems I have to killall gnome-keyring-daemon, and it can prompt the dialog immediately and connects fine, at least in awesome and Gnome-shell.
