Well i'm the only user on this machine and i simply don't want to get
prompted for a keyring password and i find it close to useless to have
a password for it anyway.

I simply don't want to get prompted about any password prompts other
than the login one and the root password. all other password prompts
(as far as i can think of) are pointless.

In my case the keyring-manager is only being used for NetworkManager
to make a wireless network connection.
