When reading gnome-keyring-daemon manual, one can see pretty clearly that the --components option has four valid values: ssh, secrets, gpg, and pkcs11.

However, I couldn’t find any detailed explanation on these four options. Could someone detail the use and the field of use of each component of gnome-keyring-daemon?

(For instance it is obvious to me the ssh component is used to automatically decrypt ssh private-keys passphrases and feed them to ssh but other components (especially their field of use) remain obscure to me.)

  I've never used g-k-d but here's what I know: they're briefly mentioned in the source code. secrets is the secret storage service, gpg is the GPG password agent, ssh is the SSH key agent and pkcs#11 is the Certificate and Key Storage.

The --components flag is only helpful to have finer control on which components will be started (or not). When you use it you are telling the keyring daemon to specifically use only those components and no others. There's an example in the online manual for the Gnome Keyring:

• 
  

  If you're starting gnome-keyring manually or from a script you can use the --components option to exclude starting up the SSH support.

  
  
  

  $ gnome-keyring-daemon --components keyring,pkcs11
