Description of problem: The version currently available in the Fedora development branch is 1.0.1 which is the version that shipped with the previous release of GNOME.

Still out of date in F8 final ...
Hi - f8 updates-testing has a new seahorse. and if anyone wants to take over the pkg or be added as comaintainer, let me know.
Seahorse in Fedora 8 update testing claims to be version 2.21, but it doesn't look like the latest version, specifically the GNOME keyring tab that should be available in the preferences dialog - and is the only way to change the keyring password - does not exist in the current version shipped with Fedora. See http://library.gnome.org/users/seahorse/stable/preferences.html.en#keyring for the documentation of the missing functionality, and these GNOME bugs for changing the password that are closed as "can be done with current stable seahorse": http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338088 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484391 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505362
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
The problem doesn't look to exist in Fedora 9 as it finally ships with the seahorse that is part of the GNOME desktop that ships with Fedora 8. Its a shame that for a year no one found the 1 hour it takes to sync the Fedora package with the sources for the same GNOME version that all other Fedora desktop applications originate from. I would have done it myself, but from my experience it takes much more then a year for an external developer to get a package into Fedora (as I've been trying to push a package to Fedora, that was requested by a Fedora developer, for almost two years now).
