Enigmail, GnuGP, logging in

Using Enigmail and Thunderbird on Ubuntu and Debian, you have the ability for Enigmail to automatically log you in with your GnuPG passphrase every time your user logs in. This means, if you used encrypted email a lot, you don't have to repeatedly type in your passphrase.

However I can't find a way for this to work in Arch (using Gnome). Instead I'm stuck typing in my passphrase whenever I want to access encrypted mail. Even though I can set Enigmail to remember the passphrase for like 240 minutes, I still have to type it in when logging out/in, or when the time runs out.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Does Gnome still use Seahorse? I'd imagine it has something to do with that.

I appears to, yes. A Google search brings up many of my previous searches, meaning that I still can't figure it out.
