Any application running as your user can read anything from your
keyring (provided it is unlocked). This is not problematic because we
don't have any application sandboxing yet, so apps can read all your
personal files and do whatever they want with them. They're trusted by
definition. Who cares if they can get your passwords too? 

Ideally we would improve this.

P.S. It uses secure memory to prevent your private keys from being
paged to disk, but it doesn't work in Fedora. You'll see a warning
about that in your journal.
