Way back when I first started this work to better integrate
gnome-keyring I had a grand vision of how this all worked.  Basically I
want to create an login keyring.  The idea being that an option you can
set for a keyring is on_login.  Gnome_keyring would then add the
keyringname and password to the login keyring.  Pam_keyring would then
unlock the login keyring and then for each keyringname it found try to
unlock that keyring with the associated password.  

I think this would lend itself to allowing per application keyrings, and
other options that would be better than stuffing everything in the
default keyring.  I think all of this will integrate better if seahorse
replaces gnome-keyring-manager.  Revelation might also be a good
alternate frontend.
