   Another data point:   
   Live LM. Uninstall seahorse. Install chromium. Try to launch chromium.   
   Different alert:   
      
   Choose password for new keyring.  An application wants to create a new   
   keyring called 'default keyring'. Choose the password you want to use   
   for it.   
      
   Chromium is badly designed to require there being a keyring in order to   
   run at all.   
      
   And, even worse, if you don't WANT to make a new keyring for it, you   
   cannot 'escape' the authentication demand.  The system is frozen unless   
   you comply with doing what it requests.   
      
   It gets crazier and crazier.
