There are still some things I won't put in it myself (i.e. only on a piece 
of paper or on a flash drive in a safe), but I think the GPL-licensed 
KeePassX (vs the regular KeePass) + KeePassDroid + DropBox might cover 
you.

I have not used the Android one lately, but each time I open KeePassX 
under Linux (regularly) or under Windows (occasionally), I enter a 
password and pass it a key-file.  The key file path is pre-filled-in, so 
just type the master password.  If you don't have both, you can't get in 
there.

And if you need access to the list at the command-line, export it as text 
occasionally, encrypt it with gpg... (and shred the text file)
