Except if your session was logged in when it got stolen (seen those
commercials about the pretty girl in the coffee shop? (: ). This is
why I want some sort of session timeout (other than the screensaver) on
how long these things sit unlocked for you to access them.
FWIW, for the first few weeks in Rawhide after F7 IIRC,
gnome-power-manager used to lock your keyring when resuming after
suspend. Most people *hated* it. I think you can still turn it on via
gconf however, yup, it's
/apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/gnome_keyring_hibernate
/apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/gnome_keyring_suspend
with the explanation
Whether the GNOME keyring is locked before the computer enters
suspend. This means the the keyring will have to be unlocked on
resume.
Personally, I thought it was a horrible feature.
