pam_gnome_keyring.so

that PAM module will unlock your keyring automatically when you log in,
assuming that your login password and keyring password are the same.  In
fedora we package that up in the gnome-keyring-pam package, which is
built from the gnome-keyring sources.  Your login manager should be
adding a PAM rule to /etc/pam.d to ensure the keyring PAM plugin gets
run on login as well.
