GNOME is probably not going to fix this - it's not just the GNOME Way. I'd like to see Ubuntu address this, though. Today, if I walk up to any Ubuntu user's unlocked computer I can see any of their passwords in just a few keystrokes: Super + P + A + S + Enter starts Seahorse, then I can double click any password I want and click Show Password. From the comments above, I can see I'm not alone in being wary of this.

Ubuntu, would you take a patch to require the user to enter their login password to use the Show Password feature?
