Of course everything less than full harddisk encryption is "security
theater", if you've got knowledgable enemies with unmonitored physical
access to your laptop.

But that was not my point. Everybody has to decide for himself, which
level of security is appropriate for him, and what is overkill, based on
his own perceived threat. I just wanted to express my opinion, that
people who do not want to use encryption to store their passwords could
easily use a null passphrase in gnome-keyring before they try to
configure/patch every single application not to use the keyring.

Additionally I would suggest to mark this bugreport as INVALID (or
WONTFIX), because thinkfinger is not capable to open the gnome-keyring
(or any other encrypted stuff) as a matter of principle.
