During the next GNOME release cycle I hope to work more on x509 certificates in GNOME. No promises, but I'd like to announce what I'm working on so that there's no overlap with other's work and obviously if anyone has ideas...
I'd like to make a GNOME certificate store (similar to what Windows and Mac OSX provide) which libraries like NSS, gnutls and others plug into. This will allow certificates to be shared between applications. I've looked at PKCS #11 which seems is a standard for this sort of thing. I hope to store the private keys in the user's gnome-keyring and protected them with the keyring password. A PKCS #11 module provided by gnome-keyring would plug into epiphany, firefox, evolution etc...
