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. > However since you're on autologin, you never enter your login password. > Since your password is encrypted in the password file, certain inconvenient > laws of physics that govern our shared universe make it impossible for any > app to automatically obtain your cleartext password, and use it to unlock > your keyring. 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 Thanks again for help!
