Please don't make such a general statement if it is only valid for you. 
Others may really need the keyring feature. IIRC you were cursing nm 
because of the keyring dependency before. And I think you were told to 
use an empty password or the same as your login password to make the 
keyring thingy not ask any more. I don't know which one or if that works 
though because I use KDE which doesn't have the keyring (it uses kwallet 
instead).

Again a general statement which isn't necessarily true for everybody. I 
prefer wicd because of a totally different reason: it will make the WLAN 
connection independent from the login of a user.
