There's another password manager called Revelation which is in the repos
for both Maverick (10.04?) and 12.04. So maybe that's a good one to go
for.

The annoying thing is, I've spent quite a while copying the entries from
kwallet to gpass and now I'm going to have to do it all over again. I
chose gpass in the first place because it has a free form text entry
that lets me record extra details - for instance many banking web sites
now have two levels of passwords plus there are things like Verified by
Visa for associated credit cards that need extra passwords that are not
accommodated by Revelation unless perhaps I create extra entries for
these.
