I think Matt's approach is a good default for desktop security. We still
would provide the ability to lock it down further for those with more
concerns. I would like to propose one change to help handle the auto-login /
wifi password issue:


   - Alter the keyring password dialog to include a checkbox with something
   like: "Store this password unsecured and don't show me this again"


BTW, is there a GUI for managing the keyring?
