Hit this issue today trying to enable vino from a remote ssh terminal. Took me half a day to figure out that the server side popped up the keyring window causing TightVnc client to hang during authentication.
Sad :(

Title:
  gnome-keyring-manager interferes with the VNC server

Status in GNOME Remote Desktop:
  New
Status in vino package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: vino

  Actual configuration

  PC A : Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (upgraded from an updated 09.10) with distant desktop enabled
  PC B : Another OS with vncviewer

  After the first start of PC A, if I launch vncviewer on PC B with
  correct login/password to view the PC A desktop, vncviewer waits for
  the connection acceptation. I have to go to the PC A and enter my user
  password in the "gnome-keyring-manager" window that appeared after the
  first connect attempt of PC B. After password acceptation, PC B
  vncviewer is able to connect/disconnect without any problems.

  Why vncserver needs my user password to know it's own password ?
