In .kde/env:

#!/bin/sh
#

# gnome keyring daemon
# set env vars, much like ssh-agent
eval `gnome-keyring-daemon`
export GNOME_KEYRING_PID GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET
set | grep GNOME

# start-custom.sh

In .kde/shutdown:

#!/bin/sh
#

# kill any gnome keyring daemons that we were using
if [ -n "$GNOME_KEYRING_PID" ]; then
   echo killing gnome-keyring-damon $GNOME_KEYRING_PID
   kill $GNOME_KEYRING_PID
fi
