Looking at it, it seems to me like it is a GUI for using GNOME keyring to manage things like your SSH keys etc. I do not think that is what you need. GNOME keyring already provides a GUI for managing your keyring and this is tied to your login session. What we did for our CollabNet binaries was write a small command line tool that uses the GNOME keyring API but gives you a simple command line interface. I do not know why GNOME does not provide one. I would be happy to share the source code if you want it. With this tool you can use the command line tool to create a keyring as well as unlock it. The latter is what you would want to do when you login (after starting the keyring-daemon). -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
