I didn't know if it had some other way of getting the passwords into
the keyring in the first place (via a menu or something).  I've never
really understood how one was expected to get the password into the
keyring.  I wrote a script to do this, but it's a bit unfriendly.

BTW, congrats on joining the Bazaar team!
