+gnome-keyring is a program that keep password and other secrets for
+users. It is run as a damon in the session, similar to ssh-agent, and
+other applications can locate it by an environment variable.
+
+The program can manage several keyrings, each with its own master
+password, and there is also a session keyring which is never stored to
+disk, but forgotten when the session ends.
+
+The library libgnome-keyring is used by applications to integrate with
+the gnome keyring system. However, at this point the library hasn't been
+tested and used enought to consider the API to be publically
+exposed. Therefore use of libgnome-keyring is at the moment limited to
+internal use in the gnome desktop. However, we hope that the
+gnome-keyring API will turn out useful and good, so that later it
+can be made public for any application to use.
