Someone suggested installing seahorse and that didn’t do a bit of good. This pop-up shows up about 15-20 minutes after boot-up. If I’m in the middle of playing OpenArena, it pops up, my OpenArena screen is resized and pushed off to the side, and this thing demands my password (same password I used to log in). Of course, as I’m busy trying to pacify the pop-up, my player gets killed.

Thanks for the fix, this bug affects a number of programs that use gnome-keyring, including chromium / google chrome.

The package at fault here is gnome-keyring:

dpkg -S gnome-keyring-pkcs11.desktop
gnome-keyring: /usr/share/gnome/autostart/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.desktop

Time to file a bug...
