Thank you for this information, it is just what I was looking for.

On the contrary: I have gnome-keyring installed, as I need it for the
gnome-networkmanager applet (the KDE one is not good enough yet). On top
of that, I hope that the effort to unify both gnome-keyring and kde-wallet
will allow me to not keep both once kde's netwrkmanager applet is up to
par: <http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/secret-storage-spec>.
However, I am hampered by the fact that in ubuntu 9.10, msmtp-gnome
depends on gnome-keyring-manager, a package that does not exist in 9.10!
Anyhow, I'll get there, currently with baby steps.
Best,
Erik
