Bug Description

Not sure if filing under the correct package...

The libpam-gnome-keyring package is supposed to "automatically be used by GDM and gnome-screensaver to unlock your keyrings when logging in and when unlocking the screen saver".

To speedup the boot process, I have configured my system to automatically login, and then immediately lock the screen by running "gnome-screensaver-command --lock".

Now, normally when you automatically login, libpam-gnome-keyring never receives the password necessary to unlock the "login" keyring (already filed as ubuntu bug #137247 and gnome bug #506356).

However, since I do enter my password to unlock the gnome-screensaver, it should work fine. Only it doesn't...

This is all in latest Intrepid
