xfce4 and key management [SOLVED]

I switched over to xfce4 as my main DE now and am experiencing a few quirks. I'm using a few gnome packages including some oddities with ssh key management. Can someone offer an explaination why I can't have my key's password remembered upon logging in? Under gnome, this option was available but under xfce4 it is grey-ed out.

A quick Google suggests that any bugs regarding xfce4-session and gnome-keyring-manager have been fixed last year.

Some ideas:

* Did you build xfce4-session with the "gnome-keyring" USE flag?

* The Arch wiki has a section on this topic, with suggestions for different display managers (e.g. slim).

Looking at the source for pambase, if you had emerged that with the "gnome-keyring" USE flag, it would have taken care of the PAM part in the Arch wiki instructions.

Anyway, if you are satisfied with the answer, please add "[SOLVED]" to the title of this thread by editing the first post.
