Bug#523322: gnome-keyring-daemon launched by GDM, but only initialized with GNOME

Package: gnome-keyring
Version: 2.26.1-1
Severity: normal


I think this is the same bug as Ubuntu's #377467. To sum up:
- GDM, according to PAM settings, spawns gnome-keyring-daemon;
- gnome-keyring-daemon is now running, but not initialized, so it does not do
  SSH-agent yet;
- if you are running GNOME, according to
  </etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-daemon.desktop>, it --start's
  gnome-keyring-daemon.

That is why, when you run a session other than GNOME, you can see
gnome-keyring-daemon, but its sockets directory, /tmp/keyring-*/, contains no
SSH socket. The command “gnome-keyring-daemon --start” initializes it and makes
such a socket appear.
