You've just hit an hard problem. xfce4-session will start the various gnome-keyring components correctly, but right now there's no way to pass their environment to something else. If you check a pstree you'll see the various desktop components are *not* children of those processes, so they can't inherit their environment. And yes, xfce4-session doesn't support environment passing, but I'm not even sure there's a common ground for that. Regards, -- Yves-Alexis
