I can launch Google Earth from the menu and I get the dialog:

     Enter password for keyring 'Default keyring' to unlock.

The text part of the GE window loads, the GE splash window shows, and a
small window shows that says:

     Loading myplaces.kml, including enabled overlays

I don't recall ever setting up a password for 'Default keyring'.

If I cancel the keyring password dialog a small rectangle opens in the
graphic space of GE, but the splash window doesn't go away. When I close
GE, another dialog comes up asking for the keyring password.

Launching by typing google-earth-pro in a terminal produces no output. I
get all the same things as above.

How do I set a password for the keyring?

Are you on KDE?

No. Xfce.

You can reset the wallet keyring via
System -> Kwalletmanager and reset/delete the wallet data.

On Xfce, I have gnome-keyring stuff disabled in Settings -> autostart...
more trouble than its worth.

I don't find anything relevant in Applications > Settings, or in Applications > Settings > Settings Manager

You can check $HOME/.gnome or
$HOME/.local/share/keyrings/ for config files to delete.

I don't find $Home/.gnome, but I do find $Home/.local/share/keyrings. I moved all of those to the desktop and rebooted.

I tried starting GE from the menu. I did not get a request to enter a keyring password, but the rest of the problem described above continues. When I clicked on the X to close GE, I got a dialog asking for me to enter a new keyring password. I put one in. Then I tried launching GE again. Same problem persists, but no annoyance from the keyring. I also tried launching from a terminal using google-earth-pro. The launch went the same way as it did when launching from the menu. No messages appeared in the terminal either after the launch, or after shutting down GE.
