Comment 8 for bug 388593

I thought of this as a papercut, even though I knew the solution is not easy.

I think that the best solution would be to create two keyrings, one private and one public. Of course, the user password is needed to write in both of them, but it is only needed to read the private one.

Then, an application in System->Preferences (can't remember if it's called exactly this way since I use the Spanish version) would allow the user to choose which passwords stay in the private keyring (the default behaviour) and which ones go to the public one. There's already a program there called "Encryption and keyrings" (or something similar, sorry again), and that would be a good candidate to add this functionality in another tab.

The network manager could ask, if the user chooses to store the wifi key, whether to make it public or private as well; but in less technical terms.
