So... if I understand this right, some .crt and .key files are for all users while some are per-user, right? So, maybe embed the ones shared for all users in gconf? And make the authentication dialog prompt the user for the missing per-user certificates? Or even better... look up in a certificate store somewhere, e.g. I'm thinking NSS integration in the future...
