Sorry,  I meant a graphical interface to pkcs15-tool and pkcs15-init. I
was thinking of gpa (GNUPG Assistant) card manager tool. Run gpa and
then Window->Card manager.

Basically the manager should be able to:
* Erase and initialize a card.
* Create RSA keys on computer or on card.
* Create X.509 certificates on computer or on card.
* Revoke certificates.
* Remove and transfer objects on card. 

Therefore, building on top of seahorse or Gnomint seemed to me a good
idea. This is the idea of Unix to rely on commands.

I missed this, thanks. It is a common API that could be used by a GUI.
Are there already GUIs for this API?
