Hi,

is it possible to access the mate-keyring of linux mint 13 with gkeyring? This is a gnome2 fork, where the binaries have new names.

best regards,

Can you also test querying for some existing keyring item, e.g. using its ID? You can see them in the 'seahorse' utility.

seems to be some bug in Linux Mint. I've linked them.

If I install seahorse it installs gnome-keyring and I get an empty keyring. I think this can only be solved by the mint developers.
