Bug#531695: "Enter password to unlock private key"

[Dominique Brazziel]

I wish gnome-keyring would stop getting in the way and asking
me to enter passwords.  It is caching about 5 passwords from 
what I can tell and doesn't seem to be remembering ANY of them.
I have gnome-keyring and gnome-keyring-manager installed and
configured the best way I know how, but every time I go to
send a mail (through evolution) or login with ssh I get a 
stupid prompt asking me to enter the #(A%&#A password again.

What must one do to get this package to work once and for all?
It's a pain in the arse trying to set things up so they should
work, having it work ONCE, thinking everything is OK, then
later getting a NEW prompt for password, google, research debian
bugs, rinse, repeat...

There seems to be a major disconnect between different components
on the system vis a vis password caching, because nothing is being
cached consistently.
