Played with this a little more. It is indeed the case that other
applications unlocking the Keychain also unlock it for Yojimbo. So,
say, mounting a remote volume asks for your Keychain password; after
that Yojiimbo encrypted items are automatically accessible for 5
minutes or whatever the timeout value is.

I then tried to create a new Keychain specifically for Yojimbo, to
store just the Yj password. Unfortunately, that did not work. Yojimbo
apparently can only use the 'login' keychain.
