4 That's how the keyring works, in principle. The keyring is a
5 password-protected secret, and a typical desktop system would be setup
6 so that the login password you used was also used to unlock the
7 keyring. With autologin, no password is typed in, so gnome-keyring has
8 no way of being unlocked without asking you for a password.
