Description Hans Wurst 2011-12-27 21:42:51 UTC 
BREIF:
Password description field maximum length is too short. 
There is no possibility to have a long description of the stored password like "some.long.name.of.the.email.address@somedomian.com (and some additional description for instance: answer for the question)".

This limitation makes seahorse horrible :(

ACTUAL RESULTS:
Description length is limited to 32. (correct me if I`m wrong)

EXPECTED RESULTS:
Description length is limited to some reasonable value like 1K,2K or 8K.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1) Ctrl+N
2) Password
3) Try to enter long description
