I have managed to get this down to one organisation now, and they are so

I *think* that your keyring password is your system password.
What you created there could have been your Skype password.
I had something similar happen to me last year on some system.

that will then supply Skype with its password...

Not sure that you can. Keyring is a clever idea, poorly implemented in apps.
