Either approach seems reasonable. I've not studied the Seahorse code, so
I couldn't say for sure.

You will be able to use java-gnome to talk to GNOME's keyring manager if
and when someone writes a binding for those APIs.

Nobody has done that yet.

It would certainly be a nice feature to have in java-gnome.

If you want to pursue doing it yourself and would like to do so in a way
that can be contributed to java-gnome, then by all means we can discuss
it. The "java-gnome-hackers" mailing list or #java-gnome would be a good
place to have such a conversation.

Otherwise I'm afraid you will have to wait until someone has a reason to
want to write coverage of that particular piece of the GNOME platform.

Is all you need. Or gtk.jar - it's a symlink to the current
gtk-$APIVERSION.jar
