Right, I should have clarified that I wasn't speaking of password
information.  That certainly belongs in a secure keyring.  What I was
suggesting we store in key files was account options -- username, host
and port information along with all the knobs and switches you see in
the Account Editor, Calendar Properties, Address Book Properties, etc.

I'll post a more fleshed out proposal to the wiki once I learn more
about the GSettings key file backend.
