[Bug 744929] [NEW] After auto-login, prompted to unlock keyring multiple times

Binary package hint: gnome-keyring

I have auto-login set up on my laptop.  When the desktop loads, it
prompts me to unlock the keychain.  I enter my password, and another
prompt appears, identical to the first.  In total, 4 prompts appear each
time I turn on my laptop.

The key thing is this: I only have to enter my password once.  If I
enter my correctly password on the first prompt, the keychain is
unlocked and I can press "Cancel" (or hit escape) on all further prompts
and the laptop works as expected.  If I do not enter my password on the
first prompt and hit "Cancel" on all 4 prompts, then the keychain is not
unlocked and eventually I get prompted again.

So it seems like multiple requests are being made to gnome-keyring when
the keyring is locked, and gnome-keyring puts up a prompt for each of
these requests, rather than waiting to see what happened after the first
prompt was dealt with.

This is seemingly related to the experience of some of the commenters on
bug #637702, but it was suggested in the comments on that bug that new
bugs should be filed with specific details.  I would be happy to provide
further information and/or help debug this.
