it's a duplicate of bug #874949 but since the new one has been triaged and the other one didn't have extra infos let's duplicate it the other way around rather

I have over 1500 public keys in my local gpg keyring, and I don't need seahorse's help with any of them, thankyouverymuch. What I need is a tool that can be used to manage *secret* keys; both the in-memory cache of gpg keys, as well as network passwords and the like. seahorse can no longer be used for this because of its unreasonable start-time checks.
