The application is called "Passwords and Encryption Keys" in the menu,
and calls itself the same in the window title... so when
'/usr/bin/seahorse', an application I'd /never seen before/, demanded
unusual access to my keyring, I was quite surprised.

I figured it out pretty quickly, sure, but it was a nasty shock. Either
the name of the application should be introduced at least once prior to
such a request, or the binary should be renamed to better reflect its
role. '/usr/bin/keyringmanager''s request wouldn't've been half so
surprising.
