   I have a LM 21 system that I am not using key management. It is also   
   configured to not require login at bootup, but is not in admin mode   
   unless I do so. I do NOT want a browser to save passwords. Seahorse was   
   installed by default at install.   
      
   I added/installed Chromium browser for the purpose of having a browser   
   whose 'default' or usual mode was with javascript disabled, and it was   
   performing fine at that role for a while.   
      
   'All of a sudden' (as they say when something changes) starting chromium   
   would 'take over' the system/screen with an alert 'authentication   
   required' + 'the login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into   
   your computer' which 'of course' is based on the fact that I did not   
   login to the computer.   
      
   Searching on this problem brings up plenty of info. LM's default keyring   
   manager is Seahorse; I have very negative feelings about seahorse from   
   my experiences w/ wanting to use a good keyring manager and I found it   
   very disappointing. For that role I much prefer Kleopatra, but that is   
   another subject.   
      
   My question is; since I can't seem to solve the problem by configuring   
   both browsers Firefox and Chromium to not ask to save user/pass, will I   
   do any harm by removing/uninstalling seahorse altogether, and will doing   
   so solve my problem. Or do I have to stop using Chromium altogether (as   
   opposed to having to login as admin to use it)?   
      
   Seahorse shows sections for login keyrings and chrome and chromium   
   keyrings which I have removed, but that does not solve the problem either.
