Bug#925398: gnome-keyring: Checkbox in password prompt does not remember state

[Tobias Bengfort]

Package: gnome-keyring
Version: 3.20.0-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

after login, a prompt shows up asking me to unlock the keyring. It
contains a checkbox with the label "Automatically unlock this keyring
whenever I'm logged in". It is checked by default. I always uncheck it.

One time I forgot to uncheck this checkbox. The result was that I was
never asked again. It took some time until I noticed the absence of the
prompt. Then I had to find out that I had to open seahorse and delete
the "Login" keyring to restore the original behavior.

I think the checkbox in its current state is pretty much useless. As I
have just explained, this is not a case-by-case decision but a permanent
one. So the state of this checkbox should be remembered or the whole
checkbox should be moved somewhere else.
