Passwords and Keys - Seahorse unlock "login" automatically

Hi Everyone,

I'm using gnome-keyring and seahorse to manage my passwords.
I'm automatically logging in to my computer and autostarting X from ~/.bash_profile. I'm then running my DE and slock to lock the screen from ~/.xinitrc.

I've noticed with this configuration, my passwords and keys are not automatically unlocked (perhaps for obvious reasons) so when I start something like my browser, I have to give my password again which after some usage gets really frustrating.

Is there a way to unlock the "login" folder in gnome-keyring/seahorse when logging in automatically? I know that you can just leave the password field blank and that will do the trick but it doesn't sound very secure to me!

Any ideas?

Thanks!
