I hope it's okay that I CC this to seahorse-list.

I've been out of touch, trying to get all the major changes done before
UI freeze next week.

I've committed the last of the major library changes to gnome-keyring.

Recently a library 'gcr' came about in gnome-keyring as part of the
refactoring there. It contains APIs for parsing and importing of
certificates/key formats, and various GTK GUI elements. It seems the
natural place for the recent certificate additions that I was trying to
cram into libcryptui, but didn't really fit.

So I've added the certificate UI bits to gcr, and if you're in
agreement, I'll make seahorse use those for displaying certificates. I'd
then remove them from libcryptui. So in the end libcryptui will look
very similar to when this cycle started.

Once this is done, I'll helping out with bug fixes and regressions,
documentation etc...

Cheers,
