           Summary: optional mechanism to start gnome-keyring-daemon in new
                    kde sessions
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: kde
        AssignedTo: debzilla at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: mike+ubuntu at blakeley.com
         QAContact: kubuntu-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


It would be helpful if startkde included an option for gnome-keyring-daemon
startup, similar to existing support for ssh-agent. To take one example, the
network-manager nm-applet relies on gnome-keyring.

Until kde supports this option, it's possible to add a couple of files to the
user-level config: these will be evaluated by startkde during its startup and
shutdown sequences. I haven't been able to test this with nm-applet yet, but
this does allow gnome-keyring-manager to find and open the keyring. Both files
must be readable and executable by startkde:

$ cat ~/.kde/env/start-custom.sh
#!/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

$ cat ~/.kde/shutdown/stop-custom.sh
#!/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

# stop-custom.sh
