Automating pam_keyring...

Good news here, Jon released pam_keyring 0.0.9. It fixed the F-7 problem 
for me:

I'll push an update shortly.

Installing pam_keyring isn't enough though, it still requires manual 
edition of /etc/pam.d/gdm to make it work. I was hoping to start some 
discussions on what needs to happen to make its behavior enabled 
automatically upon installation, especially since this is on the F-8 
wish list. Should it use a scriptlet that modifies /etc/pam.d/gdm in 
%post (see http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=232857 ). 
Or add a patch to the gdm package and make it require pam_keyring ? Or 
do we want to make this feature optional from authconfig ?

Another issue is how do we update the keyring password when the user 
changes his/her password ?
