Comment 22 for bug 346083

I've made several changes and improvements to the packages to address the outstanding issues. I've also completely rewritten the PPA's description to include answers to the most common questions.

Ad keyring: Unlocking an encrypted keyring with a fingerprint is not technically feasible. See the PPA's description for a detailed rationale. Fixing the above mentioned bug wouldn't be of any help in this case.

Ad starting Synaptic and other graphical applications running with root privileges: The current way of launching these applications (gksu) has major limitations and will (almost surely) never work with fingerprint authentication. A replacement has been packaged in the PPA (available only for Lucid, unfortunately). And again please refer to the PPA's description for details on its installation and use.

Ad jedioetzi's timeouts: This might be related to your hardware as I can't seem to be able to reproduce it. If you can replicate it more or less reliably, could you please provide detailed steps?
