*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Binary package hint: seahorse

Problem: 
Password and Encryption Key Manager Seahorse has no Backup Otion in the Menu (not grayed out, simply not there) to backup your Keys and Keyring

Seahorse works fine except for the missing key and keyring backup
function. According to the accompanying manual the backup option should
be there, and used to be there.

Not quite sure when it stop working (did it ever work in Intrepid - I
dont know), however I am sure it used to work in Hardy.

Reinstalled packages hrough Synaptic - no difference. Still no backup
option under Keys main menu entry (where option should be)

Using:
OS release: Intrepid (8.10) - Linux 2.6.27-11-generic x86_64 GNU/Linux
Desktop manager: Gnome 2.24.1
Seahorse version: 2.24.1 (installed packages -Seahorse v2.24.1; Seahorse-plugins v2.24.1; libcryptui0 v2.24.1)

Not sure whether I should report this in Ubuntu Launchpad or in Gnome.
Apologise if reported in wrong place, however Canonical is said to
provide critical updates untill May 2010 according to Synaptic.

Potentially big problem since no keyring backup exist now.
