Well you guys caught me at a good time.  I am on vacation this week and
one of the things I had planned was to finally push the next version of
pam_keyring.  This version will have password changing support in it and
should close bug #212845.

I also started working on mockups of system-config-authentication that
include a tab that would detect if you had pam_keyring or pam_ssh was
available and add check boxes to enable it at graphical login.  Maybe I
will spend and hour or two and finish that up.  Does that sound like a
good solution for bug #232857?
