The D-Bus calls were first removed from the keyring code in r873192 but
that removal was reverted in r873256 due to run-time warning/error
messages. I wasn't aware of this history when I committed r1242759 and
I don't see the run-time problems with the current code. Perhaps
r878952 removed the problem or perhaps GNOME has changed.

D-Bus seems to be necessary at run-time with the current gnome keyring
on Linux as I need to do both:

  eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax`
  export `gnome-keyring-daemon`

to use the keyring in an ssh session, but D-Bus does not need to be a
compile time dependency. I don't know the full history but in the past
libgnome-keyring was able to communicate with the daemon without D-Bus
running or even being present on the machine (on old Solaris at least).
