[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1090758: network-manager-applet now indirectly depends on gnome-keyring, which breaks usage of keepassxc

[Enrique Garcia]

Package: network-manager-applet
Version: 1.36.0-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: cquike at arcor.de

I am using Debian testing and I have found out that today there is a new
version of network-manager-applet. However this depends, indirectly as far as I
can see, on gnome-keyring.
The problem with gnome-keyring is that it is very difficult that it does not
start for the user session, even if I am using XFCE. Then it registers as the
libsecret provider, which prevents KeePassXC from registering as the libsecret
service.
So it would be nice if the network manager applet can be used in XFCE without
gnome-keyring, storing the secrets in KeePassXC.
