Re: svn + Gnome Keyring doesn't always open a dialog for pw entry

In case of GUI frontend clients, they need to set
"SVN_AUTH_PARAM_GNOME_KEYRING_UNLOCK_PROMPT_FUNC" to a prompt function which
will prompt for the default gnome keyring password. If it gets one then gnome
keyring is unlocked and passwords are stored, if not then simply move to the
next provider.

The above constant is set as follows in our command line client:

<snip>
#ifdef SVN_HAVE_GNOME_KEYRING
  svn_auth_set_parameter(*ab, SVN_AUTH_PARAM_GNOME_KEYRING_UNLOCK_PROMPT_FUNC,
                         &svn_cmdline__auth_gnome_keyring_unlock_prompt);
#endif /* SVN_HAVE_GNOME_KEYRING */
</snip>

The above is the problem faced in subclipse, since in our java bindings we
don't provide a prompt function for the above value, it tries to open the GNOME
dialog box for getting the password for default keyring which fails!

Thank You.
