[Bug 932177] Re: XFCE (and other non-GNOME) desktops do not initialise gnome-keyring correctly / WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to PKCS11

[Chris Bainbridge]

This is actually a security bug for users of Chrome / Chromium. Chrome will store passwords in cleartext if gnome-keyring isn't functional. This is mentioned in the upstream Chrome disk encryption bug 
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=25404

$ cp ~/.config/chromium/Default/Login\ Data x.db
$ sqlite3 x.db
sqlite> SELECT username_value, password_value FROM logins;
billg|passw0rd
sqlite>
