I think there needs to be more clarification about this bug.

1. For some people it occurs when they log in with a password - this is clearly wrong. (Could it be that your account password and keyring password don't match?) This is in the original bug report.

2. For others it occurs when they auto-login. Arguments about security aside, they don't want it. This is my issue, and I think warrants a separate ticket.

3. Keyring steals focus. I think this is a feature, which wouldn't be annoying if 1 & 2 weren't happening. Warrants a separate ticket if you disagree.

4. Keyring only says "an application". There is an existing ticket for this issue at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/246185 After lots of searching I got clarification from a gnome-keyring developer at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=574315#c4 , including the security implications and scope of the task.
