	Sure HIGifaction will happen in this development period after
the feature freeze.

	I can see gnome-keyring-manager in the System menu, like the
gconf-editor, and maybe adding a new button to de "Allow this

	Yes, I was discussing with Alex a mechanism for having "trusted"
applications (gnome-keyring-manager and future gnome-keyring-tool [in
the gconftool-2 way]).
