Perhaps I wasn't clear about what I meant by "minimal install."  I 
performed a text mode install of F18, which consists of 235 packages. 
(This is not a Gnome or KDE spin by any means.)

All of libgnome-keyring's dependencies are included in the minimal 
spin.  And as Florian pointed out, those dependencies would be pulled 
in by Qt as well.

Splitting the credential helper from the git package just because the 
dependency has the word gnome in it is not productive.  Unless there's 
some other compelling reason to split this out which has not been 
mentioned yet, I don't have any plans to look at it further.
