Bug Description

Binary package hint: gksu

During login seahorse/gdm/pam? seems to open "login.keyring", but gksu always saves passwords to "default.keyring".

Either gksu needs to ask which keyring to use, or seahorse/gdm/pam? needs to be able to open secondary keyrings on login. (possibly saving the password to the secondary keyring in the login.keyring.)

Did you try opening seahorse, right clicking on the login keyring and selecting "Set as default"? Does this address your issue?

I checked, and "login" keyring is "set as default".

On another machine I saw the "login" keyring containing the password for unlocking the "default" keyring. So the functionality seems to be there. Is it an option that could just be disabled somewhere?

On a fresh install of 10.04 there was now an option to save the default.keyring password to the login.keyring. And it works (as long as autologin is disabled). So I'd consider my issue solved. Thanks!
