This bug was fixed in the package gnome-keyring -
2.92.92.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu3
---------------
gnome-keyring (2.92.92.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu3) lucid; urgency=low
* Drop 04_clean_session_keyring.patch: This was a cleanup for users who
installed Lucid Alpha versions and persisted until after Beta-2 and RC. No
need to keep this extra code for the final release.
* Add 04_dont_save_login_password.patch: Disable writing the login password
into the "login" keyring as "Unlock password for: User Keys". It was never
meant to be there in the first place (it just was an inadvertent side
effect of the code reorganization in 2.29), and a freely accessible
cleartext password for each application once the keyring is unlocked
creates a root escalation path through sudo. Also, remove that particular
key entry on upgrades. (LP: #566046)
