There HAS to be someplace to turn that off. Every time I do a clean
install, that is the first thing I do. I agree, it IS a pain in the
nether-end. So, I turn it off. But, it is a system thing as opposed to
an application thing. Once you find that evil one, and unclick it, there
will be no more SIN. 

I hope like hell you have a working "windows" key. Seems like everything
revolves around that. But, from what I'm reading you DO have System
Settings in there, somewhere. Check this:

The writer of this article does bring up some "interesting" points. But,
what you want to do "should" be in System Settings. Or, log out and log
into Gnome? Then get rid of the Keyring from there?? Yeah, I hate the
keyring myself, being the solitary user of my machine. Good luck! Your
quest is a worthy one. :) Ric
