This is great work. I'm glad to see it happening. I do have some high
level questions though:

 * How do I view the details of the certificate I'm selecting
   (eg: its expiry date)? Are you planning on implementing this part
   as a follow up?

 * How do folks display the certificate that's currently selected? What
   does that look like. Do you have screenshots?


You also need:

-ui/gcr-resources.c: ui/gcr.gresource.xml $(shell
$(GLIB_COMPILE_RESOURCES) --sourcedir=$(srcdir)/ui
--generate-dependencies $(builddir)/ui/gcr.gresource.xml)
+ui/gcr-resources.c: ui/gcr.gresource.xml $(shell
$(GLIB_COMPILE_RESOURCES) --sourcedir=$(srcdir)/ui
--generate-dependencies $(srcdir)/ui/gcr.gresource.xml)

Because:

Failed to open file './ui/gcr.gresource.xml': No such file or directory

Cheers,
