If you are using mission-control from distro packages in jhbuild, you
are most likely to have already an implementation of
org.freedesktop.Secret installed. If not, we can build
telepathy-mission-control without the dependency on
gnome-keyring-daemon.

Hmm, are you using sugar-emulator on your XO?

As Peter already replied, it's used by telepathy-mission-control, but
is not a hard dependency. So we have some alternatives to not
requiring it unconditionally:

- have a build-time switch that conditionally enables launching
gnome-keyring-daemon,

- decide to launch gnome-keyring-daemon if it's installed,

- find a way to make available inside sugar-emulator's dbus session
the gnome-keyring-daemon that is running outside,

- fix gnome-keyring-daemon to auto-activate correctly.

The second option is probably the easiest but should work fine on most cases.

Tomeu
