Also, it's suggested not to include KDE in other desktop files other than gnome-keyring-secrets.desktop since provided services would clash with native KDE services (think of an ssh agent).

I only wonder why autostarting gnome-keyring-daemon from d-bus event was unsuccessful (perhaps it's a different issue)...
Comment 1 Stef Walter 2011-03-16 14:00:57 UTC 
In my opinion, we shouldn't autostart gnome-keyring-daemon on login on KDE. It should only be started once an application specifically wants gnome-keyring's services.

That's why we have it setup to be activated by dbus. If you find a bug in that part, let me know.

If I'm not understanding your use case or situation correctly, feel free to reopen this bug.

Fwiw, testing this on a current (F15-beta-ish) box, running a sample gnome-keyrind-using application like abrt-gui on kde, I get an error dialog:
"Cannot connect to Gnome keyring deamon"
Comment 3 Stef Walter 2011-04-18 16:39:23 UTC 
Rex, if gnome-keyring correctly installed, and dbus activation is running (which is the default for any linux setup i know about), then you wouldn't get this message.

If not, could you chat me on #keyring at gimp.net and I can try and we can try and get to the bottom of this.
