The patch attached here
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=140222 for issue
#2849 handles this. If there is no gnome-keyring mechanism, the user is
prompted for storing plaintext passphrases as we do for storing plaintext
passwords. There is also a boolean type already coded in that patch which
decides whether or not to store client cert passphrases after they've been read
from the prompt. Yet I need to receive a +1 (long awaited patch, more than 2
months now) from some full committer to get this patch into trunk which will
enable me to resume work on Windows CryptAPI, Keychain, Kwallet, etc :(
Thank You.
