First of all, you cutted out my first question. I think that typing
password over and over each time is not what people using finger
reader really want.
A fingerprint reader is an authentication device; it is not an
encryption

Storing the key in clear text would *entirely* defeat the point of
gnome-keyring.
Maybe it could be possible to have two types of passwords
* encrypted that needs login with password (smtp/pop/http/ssh...etc)
* optionally stored the old way just hashed

In current state libpam-gnome-keyring can unlock gnome-keyring only on
password authentication.
This is completly wrong since there might be other authenticatoin mechanisms
such as
* USB dongle authentication
* Finger print

You seem to be completely unaware of how gnome-keyring works. To unlock
the keyring, which is stored encrypted on disk, you need a master
password; this password is your login password. Being able to unlock the
keyring without a password would mean it

I have read how gnome-keyring works before. Maybe its wrong design ?
I think it shouldn't use login password to unlock keyring but custom
generated key, which could be stored that way so only
pam-gnome-keyring module can access

Where in the world would you store that key?
Maybe /etc/security like cracklib does for storing
