@nick at xfce.org: no explanation as to why "WONTFIX"?

Here, I present a patch to very simply use gnome-keyring if it's available. 
It's simple (KISS) and it works.

The alternative offered is to spend some some to make GNOME compatibility mode
"work".

As I have said, I don't really care for full GNOME compatibility.  In fact I
want to leave GNOME behind, but the reality is that the GNOME keyring really
has little to do with GNOME and I already have a cache of keys stored in my
GNOME keyring so I have to use it and if I have to use it, why wouldn't I want
to save on the bloat of alternate GPG and SSH agents when GNOME keyring can
handle those too?

My patch, as you can see makes it quite simple to not use GNOME keyring if
that's one preference.  Just don't install it.  It will be bypassed and the
existing mechanisms will be use.

Since when is choice a bad thing, especially when it provides a new choice and
preserves old behaviour if the new choice is not chosen?
