Bug#683655: gnome-keyring: gpg passphrase cached forever

Package: gnome-keyring
Version: 3.4.1-4
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

At some point gnome-keyring seemed to obey the configuration asking it
to stop caching passphrases after a while.  It no longer does.

$ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.crypto.cache
org.gnome.crypto.cache gpg-cache-authorize false
org.gnome.crypto.cache gpg-cache-method 'idle'
org.gnome.crypto.cache gpg-cache-ttl 600

Yet I'm never asked for the passphrase again.

Cheers,
Julien
