hi;

GTK+ applications use the XSETTINGS keys:

http://standards.freedesktop.org/xsettings-spec/xsettings-spec-0.5.html

so every key that is shared using that specification is picked up
automatically by GTK+ applications.

we can definitely talk about extending the set of shared keys: we
routinely do that on xdg-list -- for instance when the sound theme
spec was introduced.

> Do they use kwallet instead of gnome-keyring?

applications using the org.freedesktop.Secrets API will ask for the
well-known bus name, and get to talk to the daemon implementing it;
that means using the gnome-keyring daemon or kwallet, depending on
which is installed. the same mechanism of auto-activation is used for
many other things.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.
