The keyring password annoyance



A good many bugs were filed against this already (174467,172555 and duplicates). I find it a great annoyance having to enter 2 passwords instead of 1 to log into my desktop system (the login + the NetworkManager keyring access). Since a great many people use encrypted wifi, I have a feeling this is going to cause a barrage of complaints when FC6 is out.

Are there plans to try to address this problem before FC6 is out ? 174467 mentions this is a hard problem to solve system-wide (shared key across all users), but I think we should tackle one problem at a time, and at least preventing the dual password on a per-user basis is the first step.

There is a recently orphaned package in Extras called pam_keyring that apparently addresses this. Should it be considered for inclusion into Core and enabled by default ?
