My solution to this problem was unique and original. YAY!!! After trying everyone elses solution and just making the gnome desktop worse, I finally discovered that it was vino-server that was loading the gnome-keyring password prompt thing. Not a function of the gnome-keyring itself. So I went to http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/vino/2.32/ and got the source code to vino and compiled it with the ./configure --disable-gnome-keyring switch. I hoped I spelled all that right. a ./configure --help | list will list the correct switch to use. But it says --enable and not --disable but disable works. But I had to install the gnome-keyring-1 development libraries anyway even though it didn't use them. So anyways after I compiled vino and installed it, oh yeah, even though I did a make install the vino-server binary didn't get installed. A fight to the bitter end. So I had to manually copy that out of the source directory and I choose to put it into /usr/local/lib dir and make a symbolic link from the old vino-server, locate vino-server will tell ya where it is, something like /usr/lib/vino I think, to the new vino-sever. Rebooted. Had to turn remote desktop on again, and... and...
IT WORKED!!! No gnome-keyring password prompt when I log in with vnc to my :0 desktop.
