After some more troubleshooting . . . it appears that if you have your  
keychain set to lock after a period of inactivity you get this prompt.  
Setting the keychain to remain unlocked keeps it from happening.

This solves the problem . . . sort of . . . but to me it's a Windows  
sort of solution . . . it's a workaround more then an actual solution.

PubSubAgent is used for RSS feeds (I have none) and for Dot Mac syncs  
(which I do have, but it's only set to sync once a week). Neither of  
these should be causing the problem.

On a related note . . . when I look in Keychain Access . . . I see my  
login keychain listed twice in the left pane . . . even though there  
is actually only a single login.keychain file in ~/Library/Keychains.  
Any idea what might cause this? I'm sure it's a user account  
thing . . .because other accounts on my laptop don't exhibit the same  
problem . . . but it's probably not worth the effort of trying to   
export iCal, Address Book, Mail, and the gazillion other preferences  
files that would be required if I recreated the account.
