Hello Verner - first off I will try to write much shorter sentences :)

I have gnome-keyring installed - but no icon to click on and nothing in my menus to launch
the programme. If I open a terminal and type gnome-keyring - all I  get is:

david at laptop-1 ~ $ gnome-keyring
usage: gnome-keyring command [options]
commands: certificate-exception
          import
          version
david at laptop-1 ~ $

The "help" gnome-keyring --help does not give a list of user commands. A quick search shows
I've got gnome-keyring files in my /etc - /usr/bin - usr/include - usr/lib -usr/lib/cli -
usr/lib/debug/usr/lib - the list goes on :)

So how may I edit components in the gnome-keyring?

David
