Hello,

If you're using gnome-keyring on Guix with the default configuration,
you probably noticed, that you have to put in your login password twice
-- once in GDM, once afterwards to unlock the keyring.  This is not
very user-friendly.

It turns out, that there is a solution for this, which is detailed in
[1].  The attached patch implements the simple version, i.e. it adds
pam_gnome_keyring.so to the end of a block.  It will not work in
presence of a pam-entry with (control "sufficient"), but it does work
for extending the default desktop setup.

Regards,

Leo
