Yes, that's too late, it will only affect the current shell. This would have to go into the session wrapper, but rather than such a hack the real solution would be to move the gnome-keyring support out of the GNOME compatibility mode of xfce4-session and make it a separate option. That's something I need to bring up with upstream but haven't gotten round to yet.
Unfortunately even that would not provide the ability to selectively enable/disable gnome-keyring components through autostart files because xfce4-session does not support early autostart files and modification of the session environment through DBus.
