Fresh install of 11.04 was asking me to unlock keyring at startup 1 or 2
times after I login in GDM.

The reason why it asks for keyring unlock multiple times must be because
multiple applications start up at the same time and if more than 1 of
them needs to retrieve a key from keystore, they both request keyring
unlock, which get queued instead of blocking the second request and
deciding whether popup is needed for it or the requested keyring has
been unlocked (between the time application requested it and the time it
became possible to bring up modal dialog for that).

I think it randomly selects number of times to ask for unlock - because
whether subsequent dialogs will be queued up or not depends on when
exactly apps are launched, which varies from start to start a little
bit.

#3 fix worked for me perfectly. Doesn't ask to unlock any keyrings any more.
I think the reason it doesn't ask to unlock it even once is because by default 
it has the same password as the one you login with and login keyring unlocks 
automatically at the time of login (by GDM). If you change your password in 
either place, it should start asking.
