FWIW, for the first few weeks in Rawhide after F7 IIRC,
gnome-power-manager used to lock your keyring when resuming after
suspend. Most people *hated* it. I think you can still turn it on via
gconf however, yup, it's
/apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/gnome_keyring_hibernate
/apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/gnome_keyring_suspend
with the explanation
Whether the GNOME keyring is locked before the computer enters
suspend. This means the the keyring will have to be unlocked on
resume.
Personally, I thought it was a horrible feature.
I'm OK with it being locked, if the unlocking the screen saver also
unlocks the keyring, and if there is no screen saver that we timeout
the keyring anyway without activity. It would be just like sudo, which
if you haven't entered your passphrase in a while you get prompted for
it again.
