This was introduced by my 'secure snib' patch.  I didn't noted that
the SetPasswd_run function is also called when creating the initial
database.

I have solved this by moving the dialog code of SetPasswd_Run in a new
function SetPasswd_Ask and calling that from CreateDB instead.
Setting the initial password doesn't need reencryption, which is what
SetPasswd_Run also did.  I tested it only with pose.  This patch
should also fix the bug that keyring gets unusable if the master
password wasn't entered on the first invocation.

A minor thing is that you have to enter the master password a third
time after a new database was created when you create the first entry.
IMHO this is acceptable.

I have attached the patch.
