If you have an existing desktop session though that will cause things
to break most likely though, since you can now get two
gnome-keyring-daemon instances both of which are accessing the single
keyring file.  If you're not logged in though that works.

Aside from patching cron we should really ship a "ck-run-in-desktop"
command with ConsoleKit, it wouldn't be difficult to write.

The pitfall with putting stuff in $HOME that's per-user-per-machine is
that it hard-breaks in NFS scenarios.  We could put the dbus machine
uuid (or smolt uuid) in the filename, but I think using ConsoleKit is
cleaner.
