And the fact that it represents somewhat of a security breach probably doesnt bother our friends over at N as well I guess right?

Anyway, this problem is not aegis-bound methinks, but a gconf limitation. At least having the password in MD4 would help a little.
I wonder if I would post this to /. and mentioning I found a HUGE security bug (and maybe make an app to prove it) what would N say?

We are protected by our obscurity instead of any mechanisms; anybody can write an app ask you to incept it as it needs system access and simply delete user data without the user knowing...
Try it out though I don't think they actually care
