When I log into Gnome-Shell my WPA2 password is remembered between
sessions in Network Manager. But when I log into my default desktop
(Pekwm/Tint2) which also uses Network Manager I have to enter the
password every time. What can I do to get Network Manager remember the
password outside of Gnome?

I think you don't have gnome-keyring-daemon running in Pekwm. This is a
common problem with window managers; you have to configure/start the
Gnome daemons that give the nice functionality by hand.
What does it look like when running 'ps aux | grep gnome-keyring-daemon'
in a terminal? On my machine it gives the following:
ps aux | grep gnome-keyring-daemon
adrian 2964 0.0 0.0 4052 760 pts/2 S+ 03:15 0:00 grep
gnome-keyring-daemon
adrian 3816 0.0 0.1 58308 3696 ? SLl 01:30 0:00
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login
I'm not sure how gnome-keyring-daemon is started, there is gnome-keyring
stuff in /etc/xdg/autostart which gets started at login and also there
is /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.keyring.service (but neither
starts gnome-keyring-daemon with '--daemonize --login'). I myself am
running Openbox, but thank god, I didn't have problems with this.
HTH.

If you can, the best solution is to use wpa_supplicant to identify your
networks and provide appropriate authentication. It just takes a little
editing of the wpa_supplicant.conf. There's also a gui for it if you prefer,
archwiki has the best howto for it here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA_supplicant#Dynamic_method:_.27wpa_gui.27.2C_.2 7wpa_cli.27
NM is not the most reliable piece of software, and wicd only allows one network
interface to be used at a time last I tried it.

That's probably it.

running Openbox, but thank god, I didn't have problems with this.
In Pekwm the startup "manage" is a text file called 'start'. I already
have a few things started from there, so I will look into having
gnome-keyring-daemon start also.
Thanks!

Thanks, I will look into that.

I've been pretty happy with Network Manager over the last couple of years.
Before that it was wicd, but I was under the impression that wicd was
lagging development wise and not all up to date.
Thanks!

That would depend on how do you want to manage your wireless interfaces
from your DE/WM. These set of docs will help you to decide:
