To follow up on this, I found the following page:
http://fedoramobile.org/Members/thomasj/Gnome-keyring
But I am not sure as to how to proceed. I am afraid to lose everything, since the network at work is encrypted. The Network Administrator put in the key, and the gnome-keyring appears at startup asking me to "unlock it", how can I make sure that it(gnome-keyring) is not locked at startup? to avoid entering the password every time the machine starts?
Thank you in advance,
Antonio
