Well, the keyring stores all kinds of useful information, like WPA/WEP keys, ssh key passphrases, etc.. The way I first noticed that the daemon wasn't running is that Network Manager couldn't just resume my wireless connection, but would always ask for the WAP's WPA passphrase (since it couldn't get it from the keyring). Same thing goes for using ssh (can't rely on the keyring to provide ssh-agent with the passphrase for the ssh key in question).
