That's what GNOME Keyring PAM integration is here for. I've just tested it on Ubuntu with a test account, and it seems that the keyring is already using the login password by default. I'm not asked for a password keyring when saving the password for e.g. a Nautilus network volume.
I think that's actually a very sane default. Most people don't understand much about all this stuff, better not ask them for yet another password. Plus, with encrypted home directories or Private folders, eCryptfs needs a password too, and works well with the login password, integrating with PAM. That's a very common scheme now, needed to avoid asking the user for three passwords. So I don't really understand if the original problem still applies. Is it about an older release of GNOME, or does it affect some distributions and not others?
