I understand the importance of security in Linux. I just want to reflect on my Fedora desktop experience, especially with the logic of those features. Since Fedora is going minimalist with gnome-shell, these simple flaws will only add more confusion to the already not-so-easy-to-adapt interface...

You are automatically logged in.
It asks for a password for the key-ring and not to login. You do not
have to enter a password into the box.

If you do not wish to enter a password then do not use a password but
remember security is all what Linux is about.
