seahorse adds >5s to gnome login

[Tormod Volden]

Binary package hint: seahorse

When logging in (Jaunty and Gnome) there is a 5 seconds period with no acitivty, which can be seen on my bootchart https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootCharting?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=jaunty-20090210-nostop.png

I also noticed this in .xsession-errors:
x-session-manager[4291]: WARNING: Application 'seahorse-daemon.desktop' failed to register before timeout

So I moved /usr/share/gnome/autostart/seahorse-daemon.desktop away, and now Gnome started up much faster.

I used the following hacketry:
 tail -f .xsession-errors | perl -nle '$|=1; print localtime()." ".$_' > timestamped_logfile
(included some quick VT switching since I have to start this after logging in)
to get this .xsesson-errors with timestamps, which shows a 10 seconds break between starting gpg and complaining about seahorse, after which it starts metacity.

According to http://live.gnome.org/SessionManagement/GnomeSession#head-3f2c640d3d5e61366126425e868752bf51c78f2c "The session manager will wait a while for this client to register itself before giving up." so I guess this is what happens: The seahorse-daemon does not connect to the D-Bus to register itself with the session manager.
