Comment 19 for bug 744929

funicorn: I agree with you that the gnome-keyring should be unlocked automatically with auto-login, but that is a totally separate issue and this bug is not the place to discuss it. It's not really a gnome-keyring issue either - it's more to do with Ubuntu's auto-login. If you wanted to press this issue then perhaps you should file a bug against Ubuntu itself or post to a mailing list - but you may face an uphill battle because the suggestion probably poses a security risk.
