I will have to test on Fedora.

This is defined in gnome-keyring and it is not a bug but done for a good
reason: If autologin is enabled, there is absolutely no authentication,
thus the keyring containing many private passwords is not unlocked. If
it would be unlocked automatically, everybody with root access or access
to the login manager configuration could steal all passwords of a user.

I agree with Andrea here, the password MUST not be in the config file,
at least not unencrypted.

I see that Andrea reverted the patch meanwhile. Was this done with prior
consultation of dogd or did you (Andrea) do it on your own?
