Avoiding gnome keyring password prompt

I use the gnome keyring to manage the Networkmanager keys
for WiFi and VPN on F7.

I've tried the trick on:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManager

to avoid being prompted for the keyring password.

I've installed pam_keyring and added the
two lines to /etc/pam.d/gdm (in the correct places),
the file now contains:

# cat /etc/pam.d/gdm
#%PAM-1.0
auth       required    pam_env.so
auth       optional    pam_keyring.so try_first_pass
auth       include     system-auth
account    required    pam_nologin.so
account    include     system-auth
password   include     system-auth
session    optional    pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session    include     system-auth
session    required    pam_loginuid.so
session    optional    pam_console.so
session    optional    pam_keyring.so

My logon password and the password for the
keyring are identical.

After a reboot, I still get prompted for the password!

What have I missed?
