I haven't looked at the seahorse code much, but if gnome-gpg and
seahorse are storing PGP passphrases in the keyring it would make sense
to use the same key names so that the user doesn't need to reenter their
passphrase for each app (they'd still need to authorise the app to
access the key though).
