Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-keyring
If a program that use gnome-keyring is launhed at the start of your
session (ie network-manager), you will be prompted for your password
just after your login !
This is really bad.
But it's even worst because the gnome-keyring password is different than
the login password ! So things become way too complex for a normal user
and just boring for the average geek.
A solution exist : change gnome-keyring so it uses PAM. This is described here :

I think that it should be the default for Feisty, given that network-
manager will be installed by default.
Also, it might automatically solve this bug :
