Sounds good, but what's the alternative?  It scares me to have a key ring
decrypt all my passwords at once, and just hang around in memory.  The
closed-source password safes are a non-starter, IMO.  I agree the password
situation sucks.  I'm not very familiar with alternatives.  What do you
suggest?
