Binary package hint: gnome-keyring

I have auto-login set up on my laptop. When the desktop loads, it prompts me to unlock the keychain. I enter my password, and another prompt appears, identical to the first. In total, 4 prompts appear each time I turn on my laptop.

The key thing is this: I only have to enter my password once. If I enter my correctly password on the first prompt, the keychain is unlocked and I can press "Cancel" (or hit escape) on all further prompts and the laptop works as expected. If I do not enter my password on the first prompt and hit "Cancel" on all 4 prompts, then the keychain is not unlocked and eventually I get prompted again.

So it seems like multiple requests are being made to gnome-keyring when the keyring is locked, and gnome-keyring puts up a prompt for each of these requests, rather than waiting to see what happened after the first prompt was dealt with.

This is seemingly related to the experience of some of the commenters on bug #637702, but it was suggested in the comments on that bug that new bugs should be filed with specific details. I would be happy to provide further information and/or help debug this.
