Re: Adjusting the passphrase cache duration

[Kurt Padilla <kurt padilla gmail com>]

Interesting. Ubuntu uses what seems like a slightly different package, seahorse 3.6.0-0ubuntu1, so I set up a bug report for it.

There was a bug in GNOME 3.4 in which we did not respect this setting.
We patched the bug, and (obviously) included the fix in GNOME 3.6:

The plan is to be able to change these settings from seahorse. But
that code hasn't been merged yet :S

Cheers,
