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 ?
