Bug Description

My colleague just asked me, "What does it mean when the Ubuntu Live CD asks you for a password for the default keyring?" She had just booted the Live CD and it supported her wireless card, which is awesome! but when she tried to join our wireless network, the Live CD asked for a password for the default keyring. I tried to explain what this meant, and that I think you need to enter the same password as your login password for the keyring to get automatically unlocked when you login. But this doesn't make much sense on the Live CD. I wonder if this is perhaps some unnecessary friction, and the Live CD could join wireless networks without asking for a password for the default keyring?
