I've changed my account password and changed it back again.  I still
can't unlock the login keyring.  Here are some relevant versions I have
installed:

ii  gnome-keyring                                  2.26.1-1
ii  gnome-keyring-manager                          2.20.0-1
ii  libgnome-keyring0                              2.26.1-1
ii  libpam-gnome-keyring                           2.26.1-1
ii  seahorse                                       2.26.1-2
ii  seahorse-plugins                               2.26.1-1+b1

The preferences dialog in seahorse (accessed through the
Edit->Preferences menu option) doesn't contain any method of changing
passwords.

Likewise, the seahorse-preferences program (accessed through the
System->Preferences->Encryption and Keyrings system menu option) doesn't
contain any method of changing passwords.

Also, the GNOME Keyring Manager (accessed through the
System->Administration->Keyring Manager system menu option) doesn't seem
to contain any method of changing the password either.  I can't change
the password for the default keyring but the login keyring is
perpetually locked anyway.

How do I find the appropriate keyring preferences?
