Title:
  python-gnomekeyring cannot display technical properties of keys

Status in “gnome-python-desktop” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With python-gnomekeyring you can get the "name" and the "secret" of a
  key.

  But when you add LUKS passwords that are remembered forever in the
  gvfs-mount dialog for two or more identical harddrives (or other
  storage media I presume), there is a problem getting the secret
  manually.

  Name: Encryption passphrase for Seagate ST31000333AS (1.0 TB Hard Disk)
  Secret: Password001

  Name: Encryption passphrase for Seagate ST31000333AS (1.0 TB Hard Disk)
  Secret: Password002

  Searching by name has multiple results, so you can no longer loop to find the related name. In this case you would want to get the details. If you check the Details-tab in Seahorse (AKA "Passwords and Keys" dialog), you'll see exactly what you need:
  gvfs-luks-uuid: 5cf35067-5fd0-4a0f-a240-3b4725975ec9
  gvfs-luks-uuid: 7fe09d7a-a68b-4776-a78d-df0ef4412e14

  But how does Seahorse know this? I cannot get this from
  GnomeKeyringItemInfo items.
