It's a distribution bug for the keyring to not be unlocked automatically at 
startup.

As I understand it, usually the GNOME keyring is encrypted with your login password. When you log in via e.g. GDM with a password, the PAM stack passes your password to a module that unlocks the keyring (in memory only, of course).

Since you log in via nodm without a password, the stack never sees your password in the clear, and so I suspect it's not actually possible to automatically unlock the keyring in the same way.

I believe it's possible to store the GNOME keyring unencrypted, if that's what you want (based on reading your comments in the upstream report). In seahorse ("Passwords and Encryption Keys") you should be able to change the keyring password to an empty password. If I'm remembering correctly, that should remove the prompts to unlock - with the tradeoff that you are storing your secrets on disk *completely unsecured*.

hope that helps,
Ryan
