Thanks, Tim.
But I only tested the live-CD. I don't use Seahorse here in F17.
I actually didn't check the 'launch GNOME services' box but did check 
all the GNOME keyring components and logged out and back in, just to test.
Anyway, if it eventually doesn't work in Xfce then maybe it should be 
left out from the spin.
