And indeed, I use Gnome, although that's another element I'd really love
to get out of my life. I spend way too much time debugging Gnome/Gtk
configuration issues.

It has happened to me once that I clicked "Save password" by
accident. But that's not my current problem. I checked: the passwords
for my GPG keys are not in the login keyring.

Cheers,
  Konrad
