Title:
  Automatic non-login keyring unlock does not work

Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-keyring

  The GNOME Keyring has a facility to automatically unlock keyrings,
  other than the login keyring, when the user logs in. This option can
  be selected whenever the keyring is unlocked by hand, resulting in a
  new entry in the login keyring recording the password of the keyring
  to be unlocked.

  In Ubuntu 10.04 this worked correctly. In 10.10 RC, the option to
  automatically unlock a keyring is available but appears to do nothing.
  The selected keyring does not unlock automatically after logging out
  and back in. No entry is created in the login keychain with the
  relevant password.

  This behaviour can be reproduced in the Passwords and Encryption Keys
  manager. Create a new keyring and assign it a test password. Lock the
  keyring, then unlock again and select the automatic unlock option.
  Enter the test password and log out. On logging back in, the new
  keyring is not unlocked.
