      Description of problem:

      gnome-keyring-daemon fails to lock the keyring in GNOME sessions started from
      a remote display, either via VNC or XDMCP

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      gnome-keyring-pam-3.28.2-1.el8.x86_64
      gnome-keyring-3.28.2-1.el8.x86_64
      seahorse-3.20.0-9.el8.x86_64 (for tests)

      How reproducible:

      Always

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Configure remote access via VNC and/or XDMCP, following the instructions in
      at least one of these documents:

      Notice that the three access methods can be configured simultaneously on
      the same machine.

      2. Start the VNC session or log in via GDM

      3. Open the "Passwords and Keys" application (seahorse) a "Login" tab should
      appear.

      Actual results:

      The the "Login" does not appear.

      Expected results:

      The the "Login" does not appear in searhorse.

      Additional info:

      Attaching /var/log/messages snippets corresponding to the three scenarios.

      The problem can be partially circumvented by adding an autostart file at
      /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-replace.desktop that replaces the running
      daemon but it does not automatically unlock the keyring, since there is no
      secure way to provide the user password.
