Avoid usage of libgnomekeyring in favor of dbus interface

[Ri0n]

Since qtkeychain on gnome can't work without libgnomekeyring the application using qtkeychain should explicitly add a dependency on this library (in deb/rpm/etc).
And this is wrong for Qt applications to depend on gnome stuff when theoretically for a specifc user it will work in kde.

Gnome keyring has DBUS Secret API and this should be used instead to remedy the situation.

I can be wrong about anything from above. But installing libgnomekeyring helped many times for our Psi users.

Tiny addition: @Ri0n is talking about libgnome-keyring0 package in Ubuntu, which is not installed in Ubuntu by default, despite it comes with GNOME Shell. And yes, adding of strong dependency from this library in psi, psi-plus and other packages is not a solution here, because they often used in other DEs (sometimes even without installed GTK+ libraries, not to mention gnome libraries).

Just to clarify, libgnome-keyring has been deprecated for a long time. Instead the GNOME Keyring (which is a separate project from the aforementioned library) should be accessed through the Freedesktop.org Secret Service API, for example, using the libsecret library, or directly through D-Bus as you suggest.

Yep, it was recently removed from Debian and Ubuntu repos:

Would this be why KDE Wallet is being preferred over Gnome keyring on Ubuntu 20.04?
