Everyone is fine with this being done in the core, as long as it's
generic and works properly.

I wonder how hard this would be to implement as a plugin. Looking at
their api documentation, it would seem that c plugins have full access
to the entire api. So, maybe we should look into reimplementing the
patch as a plugin?
Btw, initial patch link posted above doesn't work any longer. Here i
Kubuntu is KDE-based and the IM for KDE is Kopete. Kubuntu don't install GAIM
by default, so we don't have problems for Kubuntu users.
We could notify gnome-keyring as a suggested dependecy of GAIM so if some KDE
user wants to install GAIM then he/she would be aware of the problem.
Maybe for Xubu
faithful: You're correct. There are two things to consider here, though:
1. Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc. all use the same Gaim package.
2. Many users synchronize their .gaim directory across machines, which may be
running different distros or OSes. (A popular combination is Linux & Windows.)

But Gaim is a dependance of ubuntu-desktop and Ubuntu is gnome-based. So what's

Luke, I like your formula...
(This is on top of Luke's comments, which I agree with 100%.)
For *me* to not strongly object, I'd have to know that the double-

fixed, or a NetworkManager bug. Ethan has the same problem with gnome-

To not strongly object, I would have to see that the patch author had
considered the case of a user switching between gnome and not-gnome, and
had handled it in a sane way. This would minimally have to be handled
in the case of one such transition.
To gain my _support_, the patch would have to ad
Pros: Gaim would no longer store plaintext passwords in
$HOME/.gaim/accounts.xml
Cons: Exactly what Sebastien said, it adds extra dependencies and forces
people to enter their keyring password when running Gaim.
It would definitely have to be an optional feature, since Gaim is not a

Thank you for your bug. Any comment from upstream on that patch? Scott,
what interest do you find to use the keyring? It doesn't seem to bring
any useful feature, will add extra Depends for people using gaim without
GNOME and will force people to enter the keyring password when running
gaim. I woul
