Public bug reported:

My system (on which I'm the only user) has full-disk encryption turned
on, and I thus have the same password for both the encryption password
and my user account. Likewise, I have automatic login turned on so I
don't have to type my password twice, as it would be quite redundant.

With automatic login turned on, I thus changed my password for my
default keyring to be nothing, as one, the security of full-disk
encryption solves all of the needs that a keyring password would for me,
and two, I'd like to not have to enter my keyring password every time I
boot.

Issue is that for some strange reason the keyring password miraculously
keeps resetting to the password of my user account. I don't know why, I
don't know how, but it's been happening for at least the past couple of
months, awaiting me to make an Ubuntu One account so I could report the
issue.

The machine that's affected has been wiped at least three times over the
past few months (due to various reasons), and the issue has also
happened on another machine I was temporarily using at one point.
