It occurs here, too, and reproducible. The entry-dialog pops up right after login.
The problem is, that gnome-keyring is stupidly grabbing the entry focus, regardless if it has the window focus. The only solution is to enter a password.
I can see that there is a good intention behind this (avoid that people mistakenly enter the keyring password into another window), but this behaviour is very unexpected in X context, and as such it is extremely annoying, especially if other dialogs appear at the same time or slightly later, as it often happens after login.

Title:
  unlock keyring "steals" focus (no cursor in overlying window)

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

Bug description:
  When logging in the two windows "Unlock Keyring" and "Authenticate" appear.
  "Unlock Keyring" is behind the "Authenticate" (mount /dev/sda2) window, but has the cursor in its input field.

  You can't get the cursor into the "Authenticate" input field (or any other) and can't switch to "Unlock Keyring" using "Alt+Tab".
  You either have to type your "Unlock Keyring" password blind or bring it to the front by selecting it in the taskbar.
  After that you can enter the password in the "Authenticate" window.

  1) 
  Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
  Release: 9.10

  3)
  I expect the cursor to be in the foremost window's input field.
  4)
  The cursor is in the input field of "Unlock Keyring" although it's in the back.
