Such is life with desktop/server these days. It is pretty annoying that the security zealots who implemented authentication for just about anything (filesystem, video, sound, usb, applications, etc.) on your system did not think/care of this.
Anyway, the desktop login dialog unlocks keyring for you. If you disable it, this is the outcome. I am not familiar with xubuntu - there is probably a way to unlock the ring by authenticating with some special app... This of course defeats the purpose of no-login dialog. The easiest is probably to enable login and set empty password - that is if the security zealots did not enforce password complexity. Hope that helps, -T PS: Another annoying example: On most systems today, even if you arhenticate, you cannot play sounds or display anything remotely. Meaning that you cannot practically turn modern linux to a media player. One has to turn to not secure, special flake, totally unsecured distros....
