You seem to be completely unaware of how gnome-keyring works. To unlock the keyring, which is stored encrypted on disk, you need a master password; this password is your login password. Being able to unlock the keyring without a password would mean it wouldn’t be encrypted, which would be completely idiotic. For some of the authentication schemes, like USB dongles, it would be possible to unlock the keyring, but given how PAM works, you’d have to implement it in pam_gnome_keyring as well. For them, patches are welcome of course. For others, like fingerprints or bluetooth, it would be stupid so it won’t be implemented. Cheers, -- .''`.
