Bug#452942: libpam-gnome-keyring: gdm does not use libpam-gnome-keyring by default

Package: libpam-gnome-keyring
Version: 2.20.2-1
Severity: normal

In /usr/share/doc/libpam-gnome-keyring/README.Debian, we can read :
=========
The default PAM configuration for GDM and gnome-screensaver already 
uses pam_gnome_keyring.
=========

It does not seem the case on my system.
I have just installed libpam-gnome-keyring and *purged* libpam-keyring.
Doing so, I also removed in /etc/pam.d/gdm two lines :
auth    optional        pam_keyring.so
@include common-pamkeyring

I do not remember if these two lines have been automatically or manually
added (I started to use pam_keyring before automatic configuration was
ready)
Nevertheless, /etc/pam.d/common-pamkeyring was a file provided by
libpam-keyring (and not libpam-gnome-keyring) and /etc/pam.d/gdm
is the one the gdm package and I need to give my keyring password after
my login.


Adding to /etc/pam.d/gdm the two following lines solves the problem:
auth    optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so
session optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so  auto_start

So default PAM configuration for GDM does not use pam_gnome_keyring.
I did not check for gnome-screensaver.

  Best regards,
    Vincent
