Comment 2 for bug 289309

I concur about this bug. It seems it plagues both seahorse plugin for gedit and the clipboard applet for gnome-panel.
Whether the passphrase is in the cache or not, the user is asked to type it directly: there is no dialog asking for access to the passphrase cache as is happening with the nautilus plugin.
In all cases, the seahorse-daemon process is launched in the background after the first usage of a seahorse plugin; the seahorse-agent has always been running in the background from the gnome session startup time; the notification area icon is showed only after the evolution or nautilus plugin usage.
