As usual, Firefox' integration in the desktop stinks. That's why a number of us use Epiphany. FYI, that's what's missing to get Epiphany to use the gnome-keyring: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265780 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351427 from: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130336 Pidgin has the same disease as Firefox, wants to be everywhere, thus is integrated nowhere. OpenSUSE seems to have a patch to make use of the gnome-keyring though. I found it in: ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/GNOME%3A/UNSTABLE/openSUSE_10.2/src/pidgin-2.1.0-2.3.src.rpm Gossip should really know better though: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343513 Cheers -- Bastien Nocera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
