[Cooker] keychain not started anymore on logon in KDE

(I do not have Gnome but I guess it was started by DE-independent script).

Anybody noticed that keychain (well, SSH/GPG agents to be sure) no more
starts on GUI logon? Looks like execution of /etc/profile.d was removed from
Xsession at some point.

I don't know about KDE, but for GNOME it's not even needed anymore
because GNOME uses seahorse (IIRC) to ask for the passphrase when it's
needed.

[helio@soundstation ~]$ rpm -qf /etc/profile.d/99keychain.sh
keychain-2.6.8-11mdv2009.0

Keychain request dialog just when is needed, not anymore on startup
when we have windowless stage ( before start any window manager )
Just verify if you have the qt relative dialog, with now in cooker is
officially openssh-askpass-qt4
We still have the qt3 version too

Except that seahorse has not been integrated with system yet.
See https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=31482
And you cannot simply start seahorse from xinit if you are also using
keychain to start gpg-agent as sea-horse is a replacement gpg-agent.
Nor does keychain recognise seahorse as a gpg-agent and allow it to be
started. :-(
