 I use Xming. I bet this is all happening because i can't just vnc directly,
you have to unlock the keyring every time the system logs into my account (I
have autologin set up). If i could unlock the keyring via SSH for the whole
session, or something, i would gladly just use vnc and then it would more
than likely work.

Is it possible to unlock the keyring automatically on login/startup or
unlock it from command line? If so, that would kill two birds with one stone
