The fact that gnome-keyring doesn't support thinkfinger or the settings
in common-auth is actually a security weakness not strength...because if
I have my common-auth set to thinkfinger+password+standing-on-one-
foot+blindfolded, then keyring could simply be unlocked with the
password, which is a WEAKNESS, not a strength and a bug which should get
resolved.

I don't care about the security of data on my laptop. I don't have
"enemies" and the fact that I use linux will deter any stupid thief from
"stealing my data" and by data I mean web history because that's
essentially all I use this for. No nuclear codes on this puppy.

With that said, what I do care about is having to type in another
password to unlock my keyring after I login with thinkfinger. It's
really annoying and adds almost 5 seconds to each login. That's a total
of like 1 minute I could save each WEEK! What I would like is the
ability for keyring to unlock with the settings I have in my common-auth
file. Perhaps, I'm mistaken, but common auth stands for common
authentication and should cascade through to all my applications
including keyring.
