gnome-keyring nowadays should be started at boot automatically for GNOME
users, since commit 43c4d16ad9e.  Other environmentbswill need to follow
a manual setup as outlined in (info "(guix) Desktop Services"),
adjusting the pam-services value.

If you could figure it out, perhaps something that would be useful is to
have an example for non-GDM systems added to the manual.  Until then,
I'll close this issue as it should be solvable through configuration.

guix (GNU Guix) 04ba7a196ab23539f1c7897ca5349fa635c5e88d
I am on Guix System.
Gajim told me I needed a keyring to save my password, so I installed
gnome-keyring in my user's manifest. I then also added its service to my
config.scm and did a reconfigure. After all that, I did a `sudo herd
status` and gnome-keyring was not in the list anywhere.
