Assuming it IS gnome-keyring, somewhere in the repositories is a package
that will unlock your default keyring on login and lock it again when
you log out, to defeat this very problem.  I've been using it for quite
a while, now.

If, on the other hand, it's the GPG, you can disable it in your Evo
preferences.
