But people wanting keyring support in gnome will know need to remember
to also enable "libsecret" (that will replace gnome-keyring at some
point). That is the main reason for suggesting the change. That and also
that "kde" USE flag is being used for keyring support in KDE
environment, and that can look a bit incoherent.

Having a more general "keyring" USE flag people could enable and, for
cases with multiple support, allow to switch between providers on KDE
and GNOME depending on their "kde" "gnome" USE flags looks to solve it
for me :/
