It works! Great, thanks a lot! :-)

The magic word here was "seahorse" --- actually quite a natural and intuitive 
name for a keyring manager application, what can I say... It did let me create 
an empty password, after a couple of "are you sure" warnings.

That's precisely what I was afraid of --- the system cannot read the password 
if I don't type it. Way too inconvenient, if you ask me... :-D
