Sounds like gnome-keyring which annoys just about everyone. I refuse
to use gnome myself so haven't had to work around it myself but i have
heard this issue any a time and a quick google for "gnome-keyring
login" brings up a few results. The answer basically revolves around
setting the gnome-keyring password to be the same as your login
password and configuring gnome-keyring to try your login password
first.

This page looks like it stands a good chance:

Hope it helps.
