Starting Gambas from the command line and trying to assess some data
resulted in this output on the terminal:
[doug at womble ~]$ gambas3
loaded the Generic plugin 
** Message: Remote error from secret service:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: Couldn't create item: The secret was
transferred or encrypted in an invalid way.


So the spotlight is focusing on the way Gambas accesses the keyring.
That gives me something to go on. I will let you know if I find
anything.

I used Seahorse to browse my keyring. The second time I opened it, my
keys were gone. Backups are my friend, but I wonder what Seahorse did
to the keyring? Seahorse no longer has space on my system. Sigh.
Cheers, Doug
