Remove keyring, logout, login.  If you have gnome-keyring-pam installed 
and it's functioning properly, you shouldn't ever have to type a 
passphrase.  If it does, it (gnome-keyring and/or has a bug somewhere, 
(and it's not a kde one).

Silly question: why are issues/bugs with gnome-keyring being discussed 
on a kde list?  My guess is that this isn't the best place to get stuff 
like that resolved... :)
