 gnome-screensaver "Recommends" libpam-gnome-keyring; this means that
 libpam-gnome-keyring is expected to be present, except in unusual
 configurations.  You're welcome to not install it if you so prefer, but
 then you have to edit /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver and disable
 gnome-keyring support.  Would we make this a Depends, we would force
 everybody to install libpam-gnome-keyring, which some people don't want
 either.
