I've deleted the login keyring.  I changed my account password and
changed it back again and the login keyring has been recreated and the
password for it matches my account password.

Unfortunately, the login keyring isn't unlocked when I log in to GNOME;
seahorse has an 'Unlock' option on the context menu for the keyring and
GNOME Keyring Manager shows the keyring is locked.  And I still get
asked to enter the password for the default keyring when starting
evolution.
