Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: seahorse

First, where is the documentation that gnome-keyring-manager has been
replaced by seahorse?  How about telling me about this change when I
type gnome-keyring-manager like I used to.  Google shows several threads
in various places where people have the same problem.  Very frustrating,
and essentially a regression, to replace a program with something with a
different name and not auto-redirect people who only know the old name.

Now on to my bug.  I want to view the original WPA passphrase currently
stored in my keyring for a particular wireless network.  I used to used
gnome-keyring-manager for this purpose and it worked.

It looks like this is supposed to be the "password/show password" drop-
down in the "properties" dialog that comes up from each entry in the
"passwords" tab in seahorse.  However, when I do this all I see is a
long apparrently hexadecimal string.  That is not what I want.  I want
the original ascii string I typed in the first time network manager
asked me for a password for this network.
