I got this to work myself. However, I think that the only way to both 
autologin from gdm/kdm, and unlock the keyring, is to set an empty password 
on your keyring.

Use seahorse to set a blank password on your keyring. If it won't let you, 
delete your keyring completely. On the next login you'll be prompted to 
create one, create it with a blank password.

However since you're on autologin, you never enter your login password. 
Since your password is encrypted in the password file, certain inconvenient 
laws of physics that govern our shared universe make it impossible for any 
app to automatically obtain your cleartext password, and use it to unlock 
your keyring.
