Well, I solved the issue by recompiling with --without-gnome.  That  
way, it doesn't even look for gnome-keyring and does store the  
passwords itself.  Unfortunately, this means I have to keep my own  
compiled version and not use the cygwin-ports version, but that's a  
pretty minor issue for me, and easily worth the effort.

Now on to my next issue - how to get balsa to open html parts with  
firefox (plain windows version - not cygwin version).  Any hints?
