It might be worth noting that the latest version of SDDM does not
support passing the login password to gnome-keyring (as GDM and KDM do).
There is a hack to make it work but with the side-effect that you can't
log out of your session without restarting KDE. See the Fedora-KDE list
for some discussion. Failing that, this currently means that any app
that uses gnome-keyring will ask for your keyring password once per
session after logging in.

Just for the record, most of us who try to contribute here are just
users like everyone else. Sending us direct questions as if we were some
kind of professional user support is doomed to fail.
