Thank you for the additional suggestion.

Not intending to be the least bit critical of KeePassX or Password
Gorilla, but by coincidence of personal history I happen to know the
original developer of Keyring, Martin Pool (http://sourcefrog.net/), and
have very high confidence in his coding abilities.  (He's a ex-Samba and
rsync developer, IIRC, and primary author of Bazaar.)

Whenever you're talking about security-sensitive software, you want
deliberately simple code without featuritis.  Keyring fits the bill.

I notice (from browsing his blog) that Martin's quite impressed with his
new HTC Magic Android smartphone.  Might look into that, the OpenMoko
being more of a lost cause all the time.
