Hmmm, that'd certainly be a clean solution for me.  I'll look into that.

I'm always wondering, about this sort of software, how good the 
developers are; security is easily compromised by little accidents.  Not 
to say that PasswordSafe is guaranteed perfect either of course; but it 
started out as a giveaway from Bruce Schneier's Counterpane Security, so 
I believe it has been looked at fairly carefully by good security 
people.  I could try to look over keepass myself -- but I'm not a 
first-class security expert. 

Still, definitely worth considering the switch.
