First try:

(1) Started g.k.d. as user

(2) Checked a remote server where i need a password login via commandline -> 
works

(3) Started gcmd and 'connect'ed to that server

-> gnome-commander[4130]:
segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002b3e0c29e98e rsp 00007fffa31dbbe0 error 4

Second try, enabled more debugging:

[MM] Opening connection
[MM] Opening FTP connection
[MM] FTP: Connecting to ftp://address@hidden:21/
(login data obfuscated, for the mailing list)

-> no gkd popup
-> gcmd tries inedfinitely and gets unresponsible=effectively a crash.

strace -p 4203
Process 4203 attached - interrupt to quit
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}], 1, -1) = 1
read(3, "address@hidden@\2<\0\256\0"..., 32) = 32
read(3, "address@hidden@\2<\0\256\0"..., 32) = 32
read(3, "address@hidden<\0\256\0"..., 32) = 32
read(3, 0x7fffdb4fccd0, 32)             = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily 
unavailable)
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}], 1, -1) = 1
(and so on)

Dunno if this is log entry is related:
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x44ba)!

For completeness i installed a local proftp server and retried as guest user 
(checked before that it works)

This time i straced the keyring daemon:
