you shouldn't use that setting, g-k-d is started through the PAM
module so that no additional password needs to be entered to
unlock it. It also needs to be initialized from the session and I
suspect something isn't working right there (either the xdg
autostart or session startup script) but I haven't had the time
to investigate it yet. Feel free to open a bug to track this,
it'll be needed anyway for a SRU.
