Hurra!

BTW how many applications in GNOME Desktop currently use gnome-keyring
framework? A simple find+grep on my system said only gnome-session and
libgnomeui (used by Nautilus and the gnome-vfs file selector backend).

Why epiphany don't use gnome-keyring to store web passwords? Why
evolution don't use it for accounts passwords? Maybe gnome-system-tools
could ask to store SSH password for remote host to admin too? Maybe Gpdf
when opening a password protected PDF file?

Take a look at http://www.xvsxp.com/passwords/ and/or
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/security/ for MacOSX solution.

Please note on first link the cooooool Password assistant "which gives
you tips on your password's strength". It should be a simple UI wrap to
pam_cracklib, but it's really cool and maybe useful in those security
oriented days.


PS Do we need a stok_key named icon in gnome-icon-theme ?
