I tried to store passwords encrypted by setting "password-stores =
gnome-keyring, kwallet" in the subversion configuration.

As soon as I set this, Subclipse/Eclipse starts to behave funny, Eclipse crashes
or hangs when doing SVN operations, in the log-output I found the following:

I found http://subversion.ti​gris.org/issues/show​_bug.cgi?id=3498 and
http://subclipse.tig​ris.org/wiki/JavaHL#​head-3a1d2d3c54791d2​
d751794e5d6645f1d77d​95b32 which might be similar issues. 

According to the discussion linked above, this is still not fixed in 1.7.x and
the "workaround" is not really a workaround for me, as it tells me to enable
clear-text storage of passwords, the thing that I am trying to avoid in the
first place!

I am using Subversion 1.7.2 with Subclipse 1.8.4 on Eclipse 3.7.1 32bit on
Ubuntu x64 installation.
