 Wonderful.  Do you still have interest in working on this credential?

I do, but I'm a bit short on time right now.  So if you or someone
else wants to pick up and run with it, please feel free.  If I get
some cycles over the next couple of months, I'll give it a go though.

 Do you think the Secrets API has matured enough?  KDE has had a new
 release since your post...

 JS need to do a few more things (mainly run it against Jeff's tests), but

 JS Hopefully, I can get patches out this weekend.
