when one enables auto login as a specific user, the gnome key ring is not unlocked and one has to type in the user password (this didn't happen with gdm before)
Are you sure? I've had a similar setup for years (i.e. gdm auto login) and I remember I always had to enter my password when applications like Eovlution requested access to the keyring. Yes, this made auto login quite pointless, so I changed back to normal login which indeed automatically unlocks the keyring.
