Title:
  Software Centre asks for password to unlock login keyring

Status in Software Updater:
  New
Status in software-center package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I cannot login to the Ubuntu Software Center without getting the
  following prompt:

  "Enter password to unlock your login keyring
  The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged onto your computer".

  This is a fairly fresh installation of Xubuntu 13. I have never been
  prompted for a keyring password. I have never touched anything related
  to the keyring. I do not even know if I have a keyring password, let
  alone what my password is. I would assume it is the same as my login
  password. But if that's the case, shouldn't it be logged in? Why does
  everything else get along fine without prompting me for this
  information? This message is to me as a user, spurious, confusing,
  unhelpful, and slightly worrying because it is related to system
  security.
