Well i'm the only user on this machine and i simply don't want to get prompted for a keyring password and i find it close to useless to have a password for it anyway. I simply don't want to get prompted about any password prompts other than the login one and the root password. all other password prompts (as far as i can think of) are pointless. In my case the keyring-manager is only being used for NetworkManager to make a wireless network connection.
