Title:
  python-keyring timeout on import if started with sudo

Status in GNOME Keyring:
  Confirmed
Status in Salt:
  New
Status in gnome-keyring package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  steps to reproduce:
  $ sudo python
  Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2012, 21:53:58)
  [GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import keyring

  this will take ~25 seconds only on Xubuntu. If you do this on Ubuntu
  or Kubuntu (all version 12.10) it will return immediately. Also if you
  import keyring with normal user on Xubuntu it will return immediately.

  It is caused by a dbus call in /usr/share/pyshared/keyring/backend.py function SecretServiceKeyring.supported:
  $ sudo python
  Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2012, 21:53:58)
  [GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import dbus
  >>> bus = dbus.SessionBus()
  >>> bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.secrets', '/org/freedesktop/secrets')
