I used gnome-keyring-editor to delete the keyring. On the next login, it got 
recreated. Since I have gdm autologin to my user account, it demanded that I 
enter the keyring password. Then, I was back to square one.

Bloody annoying.

If I have gdm autologin to my user account, and there's no password that it 
can swipe behind my back, to unlock the keyring, it should just shut the 
FSCK up, and not bother me.
