Bug#501141: ekiga: Please use gnome-keyring to store account passwords

[David Ayers]

Package: ekiga
Version: 2.0.12-1+nmu1
Severity: wishlist

I'm wondering why ekiga isn't using gnome-keyring to store passwords and
instead stores them in a plain text file.   It seems that the ekiga version
in etch did at least depend on lingnome-keyring0 but I do not know whether
it actually used it to store the password files.

Could someone who already has a bugzilla acount please suggest for upstream to use gnome-keyring to store account
passwords in future versions?
