I'm not particularly interested in playing around with the
half-solution at this point.  Depending on needs, it might be possible
to "fix" yourself by *not* enabling GNOME compat, and then hacking
Xfce's xinitrc (can copy to ~/.config/xfce4/ and edit there to test)
to start keyring before xfce4-session.  If it's capable of dumping env
vars into the invoking shell, that might be enough to get it limping
along.
