pam_keyring does not integrate properly to multi-desktop environment -
users of KDE or minimalistic desktops probably don't want running
gnome-keyring-daemon. It only wastes memory there - they will not use
GNOME applications.

Current implementation is missing following feature:
- Remember password.
- If user selects other desktop than GNOME, quit.

Thinking more about it, I can imagine trivial login helper (without glib
dependency), which only remembers password and waits for
gnome-keyring-daemon instance to pass the password to it. If it does not
appear in defined time, it will quit.
