Package: gnome-keyring
Version: 2.30.0-2
Severity: normal


The manual page is spartan:

    NAME
	   gnome-keyring-daemon - keep password and other secrets for users

    DESCRIPTION
	   gnome-keyring-daemon is a daemon in the session, similar to ssh-agent, and other appli‐
	   cations can use it to store passwords and other sensitive information.

    AUTHORS
	   gnome-keyring-daemon was written by Alexander Larsson <alexl at redhat.com> and others.

	   This manual page was written by Sven Arvidsson <sa at whiz.se>,  for  the  Debian  project
	   (but may be used by others).

SUGGESTION

Please extend the manual page to discuss:

- When is the program started, by whom?
- How it is called?
- What to do if password manager does not work (keep password, locked up),
  what is the proper way to reset it?
- What files it uses (stores on disk)?

etc.
