In Squeeze, Gnome key-ring can be disabled in the drop down menus by going to System->Preferences->Startup Applications Then look under the Startup Programs tab There you will find three check boxes that mention GNOME Keyring in their description line. Un-check them, Close, and re-boot This does not actually remove gnome-keyring, but it does allow lower level system software to handle SSH keys, for instance. Disabling things that are only available in GNOME should be the first step in transitioning to a less heavy GUI. Your control over GNOME features can't be anything but less reliable in the foreign environment.
