It's possible to have a login keyring which is unlocked automatically
when you login. This requires you to set the keyring's passphrase to
the same passphrase as your login passphrase.
It doesn't work out of the box and it doesn't work for everyone
either. I've got it working on F8. I'll try to detail the steps I
took to get it working. But for the most part, you may need to debug
this yourself if it doesn't work (and if it breaks, you get to keep
the pieces).
1) Ensure gnome-keyring-pam is installed
2) Setup /etc/pam.d/gdm [1]
3) Log out of gnome, ensure any desktop daemons have been killed
4) Restart gdm (telinit 3; telinit 5 works, as does gdm-restart)
5) Log in via the console and delete ~/.gnome/keyrings; Log out
6) Log in via gdm, when prompted for a keyring passphrase, use you
login passphrase
Perhaps that will help. AFAIK, that's what I did to get it working.
Hopefully I'm not missing any important steps.
