Thanks, Ahmad. Sorry for not having yet answered your question.
Yes, I do use the same password for my account and for the
gnome-keyring. Yet, the reported problem persists. But, bear in mind,
that I do not use Gnome; I use XFCE.
I would not like to have my passwords saved as plain text.

Looking further into this, for the login keyring to get unlocked you
need to install gnome-keyring-pam (this is pulled by default for
GNOME).
So install that package and try again...
