That might be doable for the coming back from suspend case. I don't suspend when walking away because I don't want my wireless to drop, I don't want to have to re-login to say t-mobile hot-spot, I don't want to dance my little dance with apps thinking "Oh! NM is reconnected, I can re-establish all my connections again" when the vpn isn't ready yet, or t-mobile hasn't let me to the real Internet yet so I have to fix all the 'connection lost' or wait for stupid ass timeouts to return. Relying on a lock screen is fine, but we still make that optional. We should timeout the keyrings no matter what after a period of inactivity. If they're re-unlocked via a locked screen unlock great, otherwise throw up a "Session timeout" passphrase box before allowing anything else to happen.
