Hi Matt - Thanks for all the tips. I've actually found if I unselect "save password" for Pidgin that the keyring no longer bothers me. Btw, I'm on CDE currently on my desktop machine (though I use GNOME at home & on my laptop, I am not bothered by this popup as often on those systems... as of yet).
