Since NetworkManager uses the gnome-keyring I get to enter a extra
password everytime I login (and the network is in range). This is not a
big issue, but it feels strange since I just entered my password. pam
keyring is a pam module that solves this by trying to unlock the keyring
using the login password just entered. From a usability point of view it
feels like the right thing to do. However, I haven't looked at it from a
security point of view, so I don't know how that would be affected. 

Anyway, I just wanted to point a little spotlight at this project and
hope to see it in edgy...
