Keyring password prompt when running Chromium in Try Ubuntu Budgie

[Jeremy Bícha]

Choose Try Ubuntu Budgie from the Ubuntu Budgie 17.04 install image.
Start Chromium.

As I understand it…
chromium-browser uses gnome-keyring by default.
If the user's password is blank (like on the install image), gnome-keyring asks for a password to be entered to secure itself.

It would be nice if this could be bypassed in the install image.

Maybe chromium-browser doesn't need to use gnome-keyring there?
Maybe gnome-keyring could be set to ignore the missing user password?

Maybe this should be done in casper instead?

currently we have a work-around that has just been uploaded as part of 0.7.4 of budgie-desktop-environment.

Thanks for the hint about casper. Will need to investigate further what we need-to-do to integrate our change for this.

Chrome/ium currently fails to start without gnome-keyring (or some other package) providing the org.freedesktop.secrets dbus service
