    Unlock Gnome keyring by means of the fingerprint reader

    Hi,
    I could configure my fingerprint reader so that I can use it to login and within the Terminal when su password is requested. I also would like to use it to unlock the gnome keyring... but I can't find any help on that.
    I've found some tutorial on how to unlock the keyring upon login but they only work if I do login by typing the password rather than using the fingerprint reader.
    Is there a way to automatically unlock the keyring upon login even when using the fingerprint reader?
    Thanks in advance.

    In short: No.

    Automatic unlocking relays on capturing password you typed in.
