The Gnome developers will say this is "intended functionality" because
the Gnome keyring is (supposedly) used for other things, and they don't
want it to be subverted by autologin.  I would argue that if the Gnome
keyring is so sacred then WPA passwords and WEP keys shouldn't be kept
in the Gnome keyring: an alternate method should be used.

Of course, nobody uses the Gnome keyring for anything else because it is
too damned annoying, and, well, cryptic.  In any case, it turns out that
if somebody gets physical access to my machine they can get hold of the
wireless keys no matter what.  So BFD.  Give it up.
