pam keyring issues

[Takis Diakoumis <takisd@alphalink.com.au>]

Hi

a recent upgrade of evolution deps (evolution-data-server, libcamel,
libebook, libecal, libedata-book etc) has resulted in evolution asking
to unlock the gnome keyring. thats fine, but annoying so i dug around
for a way to have this done automatically on login.

i found that installing libpam-gnome-keyring does this. following
instructions from numerous sites and the readme.debian file i tried the
following appended to the end of /etc/pam.d/gdm

---
auth    optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so
session optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so  auto_start

that didn;t work and actually didn't let me log in at all - it would
just keep going back to the user name field in gdm
---

---
auth optional pam_keyring.so try_first_pass
session optional pam_keyring.so

that did nothing.
---

@include common-pamkeyring

this resulted in a dialog that would not close as if stuck in an
authentication loop - image of the gdm screen with this is here:

any suggestions on how to get this to work would be appreciated.

thanks
