Bug Description

So I change the wifi passphrase of my network.

And upon resuming from sleep, nm-applet crashes when asking for the new passphrase.

If I restart nm-applet from command-line I got this:
$ nm-applet
nm-applet-Message: New secrets for whitebox/802-11-wireless-security requested; ask the user
**
GLib:ERROR:/build/glib2.0-t9oPgV/glib2.0-2.48.0/./glib/gvarianttypeinfo.c:163:g_variant_type_info_check: assertion failed: (info->alignment == 0 || info->alignment == 1 || info->alignment == 3 || info->alignment == 7)
Abandon (core dumped)

The passphrase was stored for only the user (in gnome key store ?)

I can't even connect with ethernet as nm-applet crashes and leave no option to setup the connexion from command-line

the vpn thing is not relevant to this bug, I think. It was not setup on the wifi interface

I have made this https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765089

The crash only happen if the passphrase is stored in the gnome keyring (only for this user option)
