Bug Description
I switch back and forth between KDE and MATE desktops, and although Polly works ok in KDE, it does not start in MATE. I have Polly installed on Kubuntu 12.04.3 LTS and get updates from the polly-daily repository. I'm pretty sure I installed Polly before I installed MATE, but it has been a while, so I'm not entirely sure.
When I try starting Polly from my applications menu in MATE, nothing happens, and the next time I boot into KDE I find a crash notification for it on my panel.
When I try starting from the terminal in MATE, I get the following:
~$ polly
Polly 0.93.11 (pre-alpha 3.11)

What can I do so I can use Polly from either desktop environment?
From the error message, it seems that MATE simply does not support the expected keyring interfaces. There isn't much I can do from Polly, this is a limitation of python-keyring.
