I had this problem and I do NOT have auto login enabled, I use a password just like I always have.

How can this not be considered a bug? Installing routine package updates on a stable distro should not cause bizarre, inexplicable behavior that I have to search the forums to understand. I'm a senior Linux admin for a large corporation; I've written driver code that's in the 2.6 kernel. If I had to go to the forums and launchpad to resolve this, how are normal users expected to react? You expect them to know what a keyring is and how to manage them?

I understand the need for security but at least pop up a user friendly message, like the one you get when an update requires a reboot or a Firefox restart.
