FYI recently the fd.o guys started working on a "secrets storage spec" http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/secret-storage-spec
i find it quite interesting because they want to have a spec that multiple applications will start using. If you want to help steering them to be compatible with a "no-bloat" setup, it's still not too late. my initial thoughts: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/authentication/2009-July/000003.html Dieter
