Agreed that it feels unnatural to have to define a master password when
you are using the native keyring. But bear in mind that the whole
approach of continuing to use proprietary password storage, and keeping
only a single decryption key in the native keyring, is unnatural to
users and has the sole merit (I presume) of requiring fewer code
changes. Proper integration means storing all passwords as regular
entries in the native (login) keyring, where they can be inspected and
even edited using standard tools like seahorse. This is what Chrome
seems to do, and what you would expect any polite application to do.
