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?
