Yes, I experience this too, it is very annoying. Evolution asks for seahorsepassword at every holy boot. Internet passwords are not affected by this (e.g. the password to reach this launchpad).

I tried to:

1) set a new password in seahorse

2) delete the file keyring.login in .gnome2/keyring --> at boot asks for a new keyringpassword but then it asks this every boot

3) create a new keyring in seahorse setting this as default

4) completely remove from synaptic the package libpam-gnome-keyring and reinstalling it

The only possible solution for now has been to set a new empty password in seahorse with all consequent security problems.

Suspects: I changed the login screen into automatic login. Could this affect the evolution or the seahorse behaviour?
