The keyring is always installed as a dependency, AFAIK.

Seahorse is certainly *not* required.  It is a [excellent] tool for
visualizing and managing your keyring which otherwise is just a
mysterious thing that exists under the covers.

It would have been interesting to know if you had just deleted your
default keyring via Seahorse and restarted if the problem would have
gone away.

I'd *guess* the problem was in the default keyring somehow.  Perhaps
KDE's greeter doesn't initialize the keyring?  Don't know.
