Bug Description
Binary package hint: vino
I have one Maverick system trying to connect to another by remote desktop (VNC). The remote server is connected to my TV, so I've set it up to automatically login to Gnome. I have used the following settings for Vino on the server/HTPC:
* Require a password for VNC login,
* Don't require confirmation before others take remote control,
The problem is, when I try to connect to that server from my laptop, it prompts the server's console (connected to my TV) on the remote server for the GNOME keyring password. It's not supposed to do that, I told it not to require confirmation before allowing remote users to take over!
Subsequent connections to the VNC service do not prompt a password. Previous releases of Ubuntu did not behave this way, I was simply able to log in after boot.

Not sure if this will help you.
I have 2 systems, my laptop does not use autologin and Remote desktop (VNC) worked out of the box as soon as I entered the password for it when I enabled it, etc.
My desktop has autologin enabled and I had problem trying to make it work same way you described, I ended up getting rid of keyring for good, in my case I dont need this on my desktop so as soon as I got rid of it it worked just fine..
Before you disable keyring you should try entering a a blank password when asked by keyring (when you are setting up the password for remote desktop it will pop up and ask you for the keyring password, here just leave it blank, 50% chance this will work...
if not, the last resort is killing keyring thing...
There are 3 services you need to disable (this services all the gnome-keyring-
go to System > Preferences > Startup application, look for these 3 and disable and remove them from the list...
certificate of key storage
Secret Storage Service
SSH key agent
Once this is done delete the 2 following files:
/usr/bin/
/usr/bin/
reboot and you should be fine now, you may need to enter the password one more last time on remote desktop setup first after you reboot since it me be deleted when you delete the keyring files.
Good luck...
