IIRC, what's happening is:

1) pam start gnome-keyring
2) during the startup of the session, "/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon 
--start --components=foo" is called (see 
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-*) and initialize the process, if the 
--start command is not called the daemon apparently exists. The thing is 
that these are only called for "GNOME;Unity;MATE;" sessions, not the others.

You could edit these files and add your session to the list in 
"OnlyShowIn" so the proper commands are called

I'm not exactly sure why it's designed like that.

With systemd you can fix that by turning the KillUserProcesses to yes in 
/etc/systemd/logind.conf I think.
