This text explains how the "Login" keyring works:

You're welcome, it took me some time to find this.

I left the code to create the new collection when "Login" is not found. I 
should add some code to check for "darktable" when "Login" isn't there so we 
can manage both. But the advantage of the "Login" collection is that it gets 
unlocked automatically when logging into the system.

With our own collection the user needs to create a new password or leave the 
credentials unprotected (this is how I understand things from reading the 
documentation). Most Gnome applications seem to use the "Login" collection as 
it makes everything transparent to the user.

done.

Before continuing we'll need to decide which way to go: login, darktable or 
both.
