Thanks for this! I have pushed it to the master branch, closing the bug.

No we have the problem, that secrets.el won't cooperate any longer with
gnome-keyring versions prior to 2013. But I don't believe we shall
introduce a wrapper in order to hide this; it is obviously an error in
GNOME, and Emacs 25 might not be faced with this too much.

Yep. I've corrected also another stupid docstring error there.

Best regards, Michael.
