Just to follow up to myself. 

I logged out of gnome and went to .gonme2/keyrings and renamed
'login.keyring' to something else, and then renamed 'default.keyring'
'login.keyring' and changed the contents of the file 'default' to read
'login'.  When I logged back in to gnome, it all worked properly - no
multiple prompts.

So the answer is to have the 'login' keyring as your default and have it
contain all the keys you need.  Then, so long as PAM is setup properly
you will be able to unlock the keyring at login and not enter any
passwords multiple times.
