Public bug reported:
After logging into Ubuntu 12.04 (not auto-login), a few seconds later,
and before the desktop becomes usable, the "Unlock keyring" prompt
appears, with the explanation "An application wants access to the
keyring "Default", but it is locked".
Screenshot attached.
The desktop is not usable until the password is entered, as the dialog
grabs keyboard focus. Whilst you can open a terminal, for example, you
cannot type into it.
I managed to disable this by running Ubuntu One and unticking "Connect
automatically when computer starts" and "Allow all notifications to this
device" (the latter probably unnecessarily).
I am unsure whether this issue is unique to Ubuntu One, a bug in
Seahorse, or a failure in Unity login not unlocking the keyring; hence I
am logging as Unity at this stage.
There seem to be two aspects to this bug:
1. The user does not know why he is being asked for his password, but
has no alternative but to provide it, which I would have thought was a
security issue.
2. The user is being asked to enter their password twice, which is a UI
issue.
I have tested also in Ubuntu 12.10 and the problem does not appear;
although the 12.10 is a fresh install.
