Not really, key lookups always happens in all keyrings. You would need
to set the default keyring to something when saving the passwords, and
then change the default to another keyring, but after that all apps
should be able to read passwords from both keyrings.
The idea is that one might not want to unlock the "more secret" keyring
unless its necessary.
I'm not against removing this functionallity. I think it mostly came
from me looking at other keyring implementations when doing the initial
design.
How does it complicate the design though?
