Robert,

You're correct that using autologin requires you to enter a password to
unlock.

This bug then perhaps could stay open, to represent the idea that NM
using gnome-keyring to store this information may be less than ideal
(under the assumption that passwordless logon to a computer connected
via wireless is a goal of this distro).  I don't know if the better
answer is further changing libpam-gnome-keyring to include autologin or
just changing NM entirely.

The former seems like the road already taken, and seems more desirable.
Creating a process in NM to store encrypted passwords goes against some
fundamental GNU/Linux principles.  Interoperability and calling specific
programs to do specific work still seems the best option.

Perhaps someone should file a bug against libpam-gnome-keyring to
correct autologin behavior.
