I believe that if you use wifi, it will save your password or key in
your keyring.  In other words an encyrpted version of your wifi password
or phrase.  This has nothing to do with your gnupg or pgp _email_ key
that you use for signing messages.

I may be wrong, but I don't think anyone should remove the key manager
in Ubuntu Gnome.  You can add keyrings like medibuntu etc, but unless
I'm mistaken? you should not remove it.
