#18 RFE: secure password store

[calum]

It would be nice if we had a secure password store backend.

This could be based on gnome-keyring, although I'm not
sure if that's a public API yet. I will find out.

Not a bug but a feature request.

Quotation from the README of the gnome-keyring debian package:

The library libgnome-keyring is used by applications to
integrate with
the gnome keyring system. However, at this point the library
hasn't been
tested and used enought to consider the API to be publically
exposed. Therefore use of libgnome-keyring is at the moment
limited to
internal use in the gnome desktop. However, we hope that the
gnome-keyring API will turn out useful and good, so that
later it
can be made public for any application to use.

So we have to wait.

Any news here? There are some programs that uses gnome-keyring (gajim, mail-notification, ...) now.
