I3 and gnome-keyring

Help

This is only vaguely related, but I have a similar setup, except that I start i3 from a home-manager managed xsession.

Instead of services.xserver.windowManager.i3.extraSessionCommands I’m using:

  xsession.profileExtra = ''
      eval $(${pkgs.gnome3.gnome-keyring}/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --components=ssh,secrets)
      export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
  '';

…after which it almost worked, but was complaining with Gcr: couldn't prompt for password: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.keyring.SystemPrompter was not provided by any .service files when trying to access the prompter.

“Fixed” that by adding the package gcr manually to my system packages.
