steps to reproduce:
$ sudo python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2012, 21:53:58)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2

>>> 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
