  This is exactly why (half) solutions like this are really bad. A well
designed service should be a back end that works everywhere  - and allow
front ends to be built (or shared) for different DE's.

  In this regard, the wallet managers are a failure.

  Network manager does it right - a daemon back end and a set of GUI's
to partner with it. A decent key manager would be similar. There'd be a
single API that apps can use - and the GUI's for user use the same API
to communicate with it.

  The idea of having a tool for a common task is a good one - the design
implementation is flawed and suffers from NIH.

  My view of course :-)
