Category: core Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Kevin Verma (kevin_verma) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: gnome keyring support Initial Comment: This is to suggest use of gnome-keyring for account passwrod data. This seems very important missing feature. Else user comfort to save passwords becomes prone to accidental exposures. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Kevin Verma (kevin_verma) Date: 2007-03-15 06:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=725162 Originator: YES do I care for windows ? do I run linux-gaim binary on windows ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Laager (rlaager) Date: 2007-03-15 04:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=156487 Originator: NO As a note to anyone looking to implement this: Hooks should be added to allow plugins to store the password data. Then, a gnome-keyring plugin for Gaim could be created. On systems without gnome-keyring, it could simply refuse to load or something. This wouldn't be useful to people who need compatibility with other operating systems, but for GNOME-only users, it could be useful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Frederik (juliovega) Date: 2007-03-15 04:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1074504 Originator: NO Wouldn't this make gaim OS-dependant? Since the gnome keyring is a Linux-only feature, what about the Windows users? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1654492&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
