svn + Gnome Keyring doesn't always open a dialog for pw entry

Hi Gnome Keyring folks,

I've been trying out the Gnome Keyring password cache with 1.6.1, and I find
that when my keyrings are locked and svn requires a password to unlock them,
it doesn't always open up the usual dialog. It always asks on the
commandline first. It goes something like this:

$ svn ci -m m
Password for 'login' GNOME keyring: (just hitting enter)
<opens up a dialog asking to unlock the *default* keyring>

If I change my keyring prefs to store app passwords in the default keyring,
it goes

$ svn ci -m m
Password for 'default' GNOME keyring: (just hitting enter)
<opens up a dialog asking the same question>

If I were using some graphical frontend, the textmode-prompt would probably
be invisible and things would appear to lock up.

Thanks for any comments,
~Neels
