not smart, pieces of paper are extremely easy to lose (or stolen or peeked at or whatever)

having one master key is actually better than using one key for all passwords.  If you use one key for all passwords, ppl can access all the accounts as mentioned above.  It is clearly best to use different passwords for each account. However, it is hard to remember all those passwords (if you have a lot of accounts).  Therefore, a master key that can access all the other password is a good idea. If you lose the master key, you still need the password file to access the other passwords. If you lose anyother key to someone, you only lose one account.

However, I do think that this "kee pass" program is stupid. Why would you need this program if you can just use "excel" or other similar programs?  All you have to do is to enter your passwords in an excel document and password encrypt it.  Although excel's encryption may not be strong, people still need to have access to the file to crack your "password storing document".  All you have to do to prevent people from accessing it is to rename it to something less obvious which people would ignore (NOT "password here dont open.xls").

I use a password manager because I never use the same password for multiple accounts. I have like 30 different passwords, and many I don't type very much, so there's no way I could memorize them. I only memorize the passwords that I use on a regular basis.

Well, that's not what I had in mind... I don't think it would be too effective on smart/careful/experienced computer users. :-/

I was thinking you could accidentally reveal a password by trying to log in quickly and typing it in the wrong field/window or something like that. :p

that reminds me of a trick i played on someone

i was sitting beside that person and that person doesn't want me to look at the keyboard to see him type the password. so he looked at me to make sure im not watching as he type in his password.  just before he enters the password, i hit the tab button to switch to a non-cencored txt box.  Of course that person didn't notice and because he was too busy watching me. hehe :D
