Michael,

I'm not sure if I grok your settings properly...  You don't use gcmd in
GNOME window manager, do you?

First of all I'd like to verify if you have working authentication
manager (do not start g.k.d. manually!!!). Please connect to your remote
FTP server using gedit (CTRL+L - Open Location) - do you have
gnome-keyring-manager popup dialog here?
