I have exactly one instance of gnome-keyring-daemonize after booting up (no X session, just booting to console). I remember many months ago answering "yes" to some installation dialog asking me if I want to authenticate during bootup using gnome-keyring, but sadly I can't remember now who asked me that question :( The only clue I can think of is here: #grep -rI gnome /etc/pam.d/ /etc/pam.d/system-login:auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so /etc/pam.d/system-login:password optional pam_gnome_keyring.so /etc/pam.d/system-login:session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start There are more gnome-keyring entries in /etc/xdg/autostart/ but IIUC those are used only by X desktop programs. Maybe(?) Which logs does gnome-keyring-daemon complain to about the missing display?
