Yes. Actually this seems to be reproducible. I'm attaching a test
application: I ran it four times, and now seahorse shows me four
keyrings: "deleteme", "deleteme_1", "deleteme_2", "deleteme_3". But they
seem to be normal, in the sense that I can delete them without problems.

Unfortunately I cannot share it yet, but it's reproducible with the
attached code.
Uh, I think I noticed the problem just while writing this e-mail: the
keyring name gets converted to lowercase! Indeed, if I modify the
attached app and rename the keyring from "deleteMe" to "deleteme", then
it works. And the other code I was testing had "signon-test" as keyring
name; maybe also "-" is an invalid character?

Is this the intended behaviour, or should I file a bug?
I didn't find it documented, so maybe I should at least file a bug to
have it documented?

If necessary I will. :-) If you happen to be somewhere in freenode as
well, that will lower the bar for my lazyness. ;-)

Ciao,
