FWIW, for the first few weeks in Rawhide after F7 IIRC,
gnome-power-manager used to lock your keyring when resuming after
suspend. Most people *hated* it. I think you can still turn it on via
gconf however, yup, it's

/apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/gnome_keyring_hibernate
/apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/gnome_keyring_suspend

with the explanation

  Whether the GNOME keyring is locked before the computer enters
  suspend. This means the the keyring will have to be unlocked on
  resume.

Personally, I thought it was a horrible feature.
