The gnome-screensaver daemon needs to be setuid.  I have to fix the
package to do this, possibly today or tomorrow.

There is a PR for this issue.  See:
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=29836

I shall try the patch in there.  Haven't noticed it...

Yeah... the gnome-keyring is broken in NetBSD.  It requires "socket
credentials" which do not seem to be supported (or at least not in the
way the keyring code uses them).  It has to be fixed, although it
seems non-trivial (at least for me, who doesn't know what these
"socket credentials" are).
