I believe that this bug is falsely filed against libpam-keyring: it
should be filed (only) against gdm. The solution should be to add a
trigger for the auto-login checkbox, which tests whether the keyring is
used at all. If so, it informs the user about the security consequences
and changes the keyring password to NULL.

Changing the keyring password to NULL allows for automatic keyring
access after the user is auto logged-in to GDM (ie: no password entry
required when connecting to a secure WLAN).

PS: I really like this setup in combination with full-disk-encryption
(via the alternate installer), read my blog entry about this:
