gnome shell crashes on blank keyring password

[markb]

gnome-shell 3.10.0.1-0ubuntu1~saucy0.1 in Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 crashes if you enter a blank password on a seahorse keyring. That's the normal step you have to do if you use auto-login and don't want the annoying keyring prompt. This has worked with gnome-shell for ages, but seems gnome-shell 3.10 has broken it. This bug is repeatable on call.

Maybe you are using lightdm display manager? I've found, that installing gdm and removing lightdm package fixes empty password on a keyring crash, see bug #1285746
