Stef Walter has assured me he's working on a replacement for GNOME Keyring called GSecret that uses the same freedesktop.org standard D-Bus API as KDE Wallet, so theoretically you can mix-and-match the KDE Wallet service with the GSecret client library or vice versa. http://stef.thewalter.net/2011/09/introspecting-certificates.html?showComment=1317622996198#c5364051270673968069 As soon the GSecret library is available, ditching GNOME Keyring will be a top priority for me. GNOME Keyring is as much of a pain to program to as it is to use outside of GNOME.
