Awesome; thanks for your work on this.

We try to have a "bug oriented" work flow in Empathy. Any chance you
could split this branch in per bug/feature smaller branches (stack them
if needed) and open (or comment if there is already a bug open for that)
a bug for each one?
It makes my life easier to track what's going on and offer a nice place
where to put review comments.

We already depend on libgcr, so that doesn't introduce any new dep,
right?

It would be good to have a gnome-keyring bug for that so all our Empathy
bugs can depend on it.
