Chatty not prompting for keyring on startup (Matrix accounts)

It goes something like this for me in Byzantium with the latest chatty (0.3.3) running under phosh:

  • Boot
  • Get greeted by prompt asking for passphrase to unlock the keyring
  • Unlock keyring
  • Open chatty: No matrix accounts under preferences
  • Kill chatty and restart it: Matrix accounts show up

I suspect this has something to do with the keyring being locked while chatty is being started.

I've tested killing chatty, locking the keyring in seahorse and starting chatty again, but then I get prompted to unlock the keyring and the matrix account gets loaded correctly.

After removing my nextcloud account from g-oa I don't get prompted anymore after bootup! And in this state killing and restarting chatty does not prompt to unlock the keyring at all.

(I had the same thing in calls btw https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/calls/-/issues/316)
