I'm aware that Prashant did some work on this, but the activity seems to have ceased and the work that was done seemed not match the expected UI wireframe from bug #679860 [1].
The original ideas envisioned there were deemed impossible to implement without assistance from the GtkFileChooser side — all we wanted to do really was add the PKCS#11 tokens as 'locations' in the sidebar, then take over the central "file chooser" pane and turn it into an "object chooser" when one of the PKCS#11 locations was chosen. But it wasn't something that was feasible. So the design had to evolve somewhat, and continued to do so. I think Tyagi's code lacked a little bit of "polish" but had a fundamentally sane workflow — and at GUADEC we'd refined it a little further in discussion with Stef. Tyagi mailed me just this week in fact, to say that he's no longer quite so snowed under with college work and is revitalising the project. It would be great to incorporate parts of the excellent work he's done on the workflow, even if some of the details end up being revamped.
Therefore I chose to start from scratch following the GtkFileChooser* instead. That might or might not have been a good idea; either way -- I'd be glad if manage to somehow get a working certificate picker.
I'll try to take a look... got a git repo I can pull it from? -- dwmw2
