That's currently not possible, you can either start all components of gnome-keyring-daemon (by enabling GNOME compatibility mode) or not start it at all. This bug was about making it work properly at all which has been the case since 12.1. The ability to selectively enable/disable components is a different issue and would need to be addressed upstream. Please file a new enhancement request, preferably on the upstream tracker or here if you want me to forward it for you.
