I just went to the GNOME keyring UI and checked the situation: I had a
few keyrings named signon-test_<number> (indeed, I executed my
application several times -- though I wouldn't expect many keyrings to
be created); I could delete all of them, but two ("signon-test" and
"signon-test_2"), which had a different icon, no name, and the key IDs
are "signon-test" and "signon-test2". I couldn't delete them from the UI.

Thenk I killed gnome-keyring-deamon, and restarted the UI. The two
keyrings which I had left before now appear as regular keyrings, and the
application can use them.

That seems all very strange. Is it a tested scenario, using the GNOME
keyring APIs with different keyrings than the default one?

(I don't really need to use a different keyring than the default in my
application; but for the unit tests, I wouldn't like to play with the
real keyring, so I'd like my tests to be executed on a different one)

Ciao,
  Alberto
