Agreed. Come on, it's not like GnomeKeyring API is so complicated. Coding this will take the developers no more than a couple of hours, including the time to read the API docs. Same goes for Evolution. It's kind of silly that they had GnomeKeyring support for a while, but then just dropped it. -- Gustavo J. A. M.
