Obviously one needs to find where gnome-keyring-daemon is started. I
have tried and failed to find it but it must be there and it is started
by ssh but not by gnome.

Now if you go to the Configuration Editor (gconf-editor) you will see in
the daemon-component of gnome-keyring that there is a check on pkcs11
and ssh. pkcs11 is a pam module that may start the daemon. I is your
pkcs11 checked?
